And [b]owl and raven will dwell in it;
And He will stretch over it the (B)line of utter formlessness
And the [c]plumb line of utter void.

Whom they may proclaim king—
And all its princes will be (D)non-existent.
13 And thorns will come up in its (E)fortified towers,
Weeds and thistles in its fortified cities;
It will also be a haunt of (F)jackals
And an abode of ostriches.
