13 Thorns shall come up in her palaces,
    nettles and brambles in the fortresses;
and it shall be a habitation of jackals
    and a home for owls.
14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wolves,
    and the wild goat shall cry to its kind;
the screech owl also shall rest there
    and find for herself a place of rest.
15 There shall the tree snake make its nest and lay eggs,
    and it shall hatch and gather them under its protection;
yes, there shall the vultures also be gathered,
    every one with its kind.
