10. Night and day it will burn;its smoke will ascend continually.Generation after generation it will be a wastelandand no one will ever pass through it again.
11. Owls and wild animals will live there,all kinds of wild birds will settle in it.The Lord will stretch out over herthe measuring line of ruinand the plumb line of destruction.
12. Her nobles will have nothing left to call a kingdomand all her officials will disappear.
13. Her fortresses will be overgrown with thorns;thickets and weeds will grow in her fortified cities.Jackals will settle there;ostriches will live there.
14. Wild animals and wild dogs will congregate there;wild goats will bleat to one another.Yes, nocturnal animals will rest thereand make for themselves a nest.
