²¹ Only desert animals will occupy the deserted city;
    owls will nest in their formerly swept-clean houses.
Mangy jackals and wild goats will roam among the rubble
    and romp among the ruins.
²² Hyenas will prowl around and howl among its towers;
    jackals will haunt its formerly palatial palaces;
Babylon’s time of destruction is coming; her days are numbered.
