thickets and weeds will grow 9 in her fortified cities.

ostriches will live there. 10
34:14 Wild animals and wild dogs will congregate there; 11
wild goats will bleat to one another. 12
Yes, nocturnal animals 13 will rest there
and make for themselves a nest. 14
34:15 Owls 15 will make nests and lay eggs 16 there;
they will hatch them and protect them. 17
Yes, hawks 18 will gather there,
each with its mate.
2:14 Flocks and herds 19 will lie down in the middle of it,
as well as every kind of wild animal. 20
Owls 21 will sleep in the tops of its support pillars;
they will hoot through the windows. 22
Rubble will cover the thresholds; 23
even the cedar work 24 will be exposed to the elements. 25
