21 The desert creatures will lie down there;

Their houses will be filled with eagle owls.

The ostriches will reside there,+

And wild goats* will skip about there.

35 “There is a sword against the Chal·deʹans,” declares Jehovah,

“Against the inhabitants of Babylon and against her princes and against her wise ones.+

39 Therefore, the desert creatures will dwell with the howling animals,

And in her the ostriches will dwell.+

She will never again be inhabited,

Nor will she be a place of residence throughout all generations.”+
