Arabs will not pitch their tents there;
shepherds will not make their flocks lie down there.(B)

and its houses will be full of howling creatures;
there ostriches will live,
and there goat-demons will dance.(C)

and jackals in the pleasant palaces;
its time is close at hand;
and its days will not be prolonged.(D)

jackals(N) her luxurious palaces.
