From 3generationH1755 to generationH1755 it will be desolateH2717; 4NoneH369 will passH5674 through it foreverH5331 and everH5331.11But 56pelicanH6893 and hedgehogH7090 will possessH3423 it, And 7owlH3244 and ravenH6158 will dwellH7931 in it; And He will stretchH5186 overH5921 it the 8lineH6957 of 9desolationH8414 And the 10plumbH68 lineH68 of emptinessH922.12Its noblesH2715--thereH369 isH369 11noH369 oneH369 thereH8033 Whom they may proclaimH7121 kingH4410-- And allH3605 its officialsH8269 will be 12nothingH657.13ThornsH5518 will comeH5927 upH5927 in its 13fortifiedH4013 towersH759, WeedsH7057 and thistlesH2336 in its fortifiedH4013 citiesH4013; It will also be a hauntH5116 of 14jackalsH8565 And a habitatH2691 of ostrichesH3284.14The desertH6716 15creaturesH6716 will meetH6298 with the 16wolvesH338, The 1718goatH8163 also will cryH7121 to its kindH7453.
