12 There will be no king to rule the country, and the leaders will all be gone.[a] 13 Thorns and thistles will grow up in all the palaces and walled towns, and jackals and owls will live in them. 14 Wild animals will roam there, and demons will call to each other. The night monster[b] will come there looking for a place to rest.

New International Version
12 Her nobles will have nothing there to be called a kingdom,
all her princes(A) will vanish(B) away.
13 Thorns(C) will overrun her citadels,
nettles and brambles her strongholds.(D)
She will become a haunt for jackals,(E)
a home for owls.(F)
14 Desert creatures(G) will meet with hyenas,(H)
and wild goats will bleat to each other;
there the night creatures(I) will also lie down
and find for themselves places of rest.
