10 Night and day it shall not be quenched;
    its smoke shall go up forever.
From generation to generation it shall lie waste;
    no one shall pass through it forever and ever.(A)
11 But the desert owl[a] and the screech owl[b] shall possess it;
    the great owl and the raven shall live in it.
He shall stretch the line of confusion
    and the plummet of chaos over it.(B)
12 They shall call its nobles No Kingdom There,
    and all its princes shall be nothing.
