13 Her palaces will be overgrown with thorns;
her fortified cities, with thistles and briers.(A)
She will become a dwelling for jackals,
an abode[a] for ostriches.(B)
14 The desert creatures will meet hyenas,
and one wild goat will call to another.
Indeed, the night birds will stay there
and will find a resting place.
15 Sand partridges[b] will make their nests there;
they will lay and hatch their eggs
and will gather their broods under their shadows.
Indeed, the birds of prey will gather there,
each with its mate.(C)
