^22 [a]Hyenas will howl in their fortified towers
And jackals in their luxurious ^(A)palaces.
Her fateful time also ^[b]will soon come
And her days will not be prolonged.

² For You have made a city into a ^(A)heap,
A ^(B)fortified city into a ruin;
A ^(C)palace of strangers is a city no more,
It will never be rebuilt.

¹³ Thorns will come up in its ^(A)fortified towers,
Nettles and thistles in its fortified cities;
It will also be a haunt of ^(B)jackals
And an abode of ostriches.
