10 It shall not be quenched night nor day: the smoke thereof shall go up evermore: it shall be desolate from generation to generation; none shall pass through it forever.

11 But the pelican [a]and the hedgehog shall possess it, and the great owl, and the raven shall dwell in it, and he shall stretch out upon it the line of [b]vanity, and the stones of emptiness.

12 [c]The nobles thereof shall call to the kingdom, and there shall be none, and all the princes thereof shall be as nothing.
