12 Her nobles will have nothing there to be called a kingdom,
    all her princes(A) will vanish(B) away.
13 Thorns(C) will overrun her citadels,
    nettles and brambles her strongholds.(D)
She will become a haunt for jackals,(E)
    a home for owls.(F)

    and find for themselves places of rest.
