11. The desert owl and the screech owl will possess it,and the great owl and the raven will dwell there. The Lord will stretch out a measuring lineand a plumb line over herfor her destruction and chaos.
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. She will become a dwelling for jackals,an abode for ostriches.
