⁶ I am like a desert owl,^(A)
    like an owl among the ruins.

²¹ But desert creatures^(A) will lie there,
    jackals^(B) will fill her houses;
there the owls^(C) will dwell,
    and there the wild goats^(D) will leap about.

²³ “I will turn her into a place for owls^(A)
    and into swampland;
I will sweep her with the broom of destruction,^(B)”
    declares the Lord Almighty.^(C)

¹¹ The desert owl^[a](A) and screech owl^[b] will possess it;
    the great owl^[c] and the raven^(B) will nest there.
God will stretch out over Edom^(C)
    the measuring line of chaos^(D)
    and the plumb line^(E) of desolation.
