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.

13 And it shall bring forth thorns in the palaces thereof, nettles, and thistles in the strongholds thereof, and it shall be an habitation for dragons, and a court for ostriches.
