11 “But hawks and hedgehogs will possess it;
    owls and ravens will nest in it.
God[a] will stretch out over it a measuring line, and chaos,[b]
    and plumb lines of emptiness, and its nobles.[c]

    and all its princes will come to nothing.

    nettles and brambles its fortresses.
It will become a haunt for jackals,
    a home for ostriches.
