13 Thorns and wild bushes will grow in all the beautiful homes there. Wild dogs and owls will live in them. Wild animals will make their homes there. Big birds will live in the grasses that grow there. 14 Wild cats will live there with hyenas.[a] Wild goats[b] will call to their friends. Night animals[c] will spend some time there and find a place to rest. 15 Snakes will make their homes there and lay their eggs. The eggs will open, and small snakes will crawl from the dark places.

nettles and brambles her strongholds.(B)
She will become a haunt for jackals,(C)
a home for owls.(D)
14 Desert creatures(E) will meet with hyenas,(F)
and wild goats will bleat to each other;
there the night creatures(G) will also lie down
and find for themselves places of rest.
