and her soil into sulfur;
her land shall become burning pitch.
10 Night and day (B)it shall not be quenched;
(C)its smoke shall go up forever.
(D)From generation to generation it shall lie waste;
none shall pass through it forever and ever.
11 (E)But the hawk and the porcupine[b] shall possess it,
the owl and the raven shall dwell in it.
(F)He shall stretch the line of (G)confusion[c] over it,
and the plumb line of emptiness.
12 Its nobles—there is no one there to call it a kingdom,
and all its princes shall be nothing.
13 (H)Thorns shall grow over its strongholds,
nettles and thistles in its fortresses.
It shall be the haunt of (I)jackals,
an abode for ostriches.[d]
14 (J)And wild animals shall meet with hyenas;
the wild goat shall cry to his fellow;
indeed, there the night bird[e] settles
and finds for herself a resting place.
15 There the owl nests and lays
and hatches and gathers her young in her shadow;
indeed, there (K)the hawks are gathered,
each one with her mate.

On your hills and in your valleys and in all (R)your ravines (S)those slain with the sword shall fall. 9 (T)I will make you a perpetual desolation, and (U)your cities shall not be inhabited. Then (V)you will know that I am the Lord.
10 “Because you said, (W)‘These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and (X)we will take possession of them’—although the (Y)Lord was there— 11 therefore, (Z)as I live, declares the Lord God, I will deal with you (AA)according to the anger and (AB)envy that you showed because of your hatred against them. And (AC)I will make myself known among them, when I judge you. 12 And you shall know that I am the Lord.

Then (AK)they will know that I am the Lord.
