13 Thorns shall grow over its strongholds,
    nettles and thistles in its fortresses.
It shall be the haunt of jackals,
    an abode for ostriches.
14 And wild beasts shall meet with hyenas,
    the satyr shall cry to his fellow;
yea, there shall the night hag alight,
    and find for herself a resting place.

15 There shall the owl nest and lay
    and hatch and gather her young in her shadow;
yea, there shall the kites be gathered,
    each one with her mate.
