13. And sirim (thorns) shall come up in her citadels, nettles and brambles in the strongholds thereof; and it shall become the habitation of jackals, and the abode for banot ya'anah (ostriches).
14. The tziyyim (martens) shall also encounter iyyim (wild cats), and a sa'ir (wild goat) calls to its companion, and lilit (night creature) dwells there and finds for itself a mano'ach (place of rest).
15. There shall the kipoz (bittern) nest, and lay eggs, and hatch and care for young under her tzel; there shall the dayyot (kites, vultures) also be gathered, every one with its mate.
16. Search ye out in the Sefer Hashem, and read; no one of these creatures shall fail, none shall lack her mate; for My mouth hath commanded, and His Ruach hath gathered them.
