But none shall be there, and all its princes shall be nothing.

Nettles and brambles in its fortresses;

A courtyard for ostriches.

And the wild goat shall bleat to its companion;
Also [d]the night creature shall rest there,
And find for herself a place of rest.

And hatch, and gather them under her shadow;
There also shall the hawks be gathered,
Every one with her mate.
