¹⁰ It will ^(A)not be quenched night or day;
Its ^(B)smoke will go up forever.
From ^(C)generation to generation it will be laid waste;
^(D)None will pass through it forever and ever.
¹¹ But ^[a](E)pelican and hedgehog will possess it,
And ^[b]owl and raven will dwell in it;
And He will stretch over it the ^(F)line of utter formlessness
And the ^[c]plumb line of utter void.
¹² Its nobles—there is ^(G)no one there
Whom they may proclaim king—
And all its princes will be ^(H)non-existent.
¹³ And thorns will come up in its ^(I)fortified towers,
Weeds and thistles in its fortified cities;
It will also be a haunt of ^(J)jackals
And an abode of ostriches.

² For Yahweh will restore the ^(A)majesty of Jacob
^(B)Like the majesty of Israel,
Even though those who empty them have emptied them to destruction
And ^(C)ruined their vine branches.
