² For You have turned a city into a ^(A)heap,
A ^(B)fortified city into a ruin;
A ^(C)palace of strangers is no longer a city,
It will never be rebuilt.

¹³ Thorns will come up in its ^(A)fortified towers,
Weeds and thistles in its fortified cities;
It will also be a haunt of ^(B)jackals
And a habitat of ostriches.
