Context Reading
11But the pelican and the porcupine will possess it.The owl and the raven will dwell in it.He will stretch the line of confusion over it,and the plumb line of emptiness. 12They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but none shall be there;and all its princes shall be nothing. 13Thorns will come up in its palaces,nettles and thistles in its fortresses;and it will be a habitation of jackals,a court for ostriches. 14The wild animals of the desert will meet with the wolves,and the wild goat will cry to his fellow.Yes, the night creatureshall settle there,and shall find herself a place of rest. 15The arrow snake will make her nest there,and lay, hatch, and gather under her shade.Yes, the kites will be gathered there, every one with her mate.
