11 Eagle owls[a] and herons[b] will possess it,
and long-eared owls and ravens will dwell there.(A)
The Lord will stretch out a measuring line
and a plumb line(B) over her
for her destruction and chaos.(C)
12 No nobles will be left to proclaim a king,
and all her princes will come to nothing.
13 Her palaces will be overgrown with thorns;
her fortified cities, with thistles and briers.(D)
She will become a dwelling for jackals,
an abode[c] for ostriches.(E)
