13Thorns will grow over her palaces, nettles and brambles in her fortresses; and she will become a haunt of jackals, a pasture for ostriches.

14And desert creatures will meet with hyenas, and the goat-demon will call to its fellow; indeed, there Lilith will settle down and find a resting place for herself.

15There the arrow snake will nest and lay eggs, and hatch them, and gather them in her shadow; indeed, there the kites will gather, each with her mate.
