there ^oostriches ^{▼▼Or owls} will dwell,

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.

nettles and thistles in its fortresses.
It shall be the haunt of ^adjackals,
an abode for ostriches. ^{▼▼Or owls}
14 ^afAnd wild animals shall meet with hyenas;
the wild goat shall cry to his fellow;
indeed, there the night bird ^{▼▼Identity uncertain} 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 ^ahthe hawks are gathered,
each one with her mate.
