13 Its palaces are covered with thorns.Its fortresses have nettles and thistles.It will become a home for jackalsand a place for ostriches.
14 Hyenas will meet with jackals.Male goats will call to their mates.Screech owls will rest thereand find a resting place for themselves.
15 Owls will make their nests there, lay eggs, and hatch them.They will gather their youngin the shadow of ⌊their wings⌋.Vultures also will gather there,each one with its mate.
16 Search the Lord’s book, and read it.Not one of these animals will be missing.Not one will lack a mate,because the Lord has commanded it,and his Spirit will gather them together.
17 He is the one who throws dice for them,and his hand divides up ⌊the land⌋ for them with a measuring line.They will possess it permanentlyand live there for generations.
