14 Herds will lie down in the middle of it,
every kind of wild animal.[a]
Both eagle owls[b] and herons[c]
will roost in the capitals of its pillars.
Their calls will sound[d] from the window,
but devastation[e] will be on the threshold,
for he will expose the cedar work.[f]
15 This is the jubilant(A) city
that lives in security,
that says to herself:
I exist, and there is no one else.
What a desolation she has become,
a place for wild animals to lie down!
Everyone who passes by her
scoffs[g] and shakes his fist.
