¹⁰ Night and day it shall not be quenched;
    its smoke shall go up forever.
From generation to generation it shall lie waste;
    no one shall pass through it forever and ever.^(A)

¹¹ But the desert owl^[a] and the screech owl^[b] shall possess it;
    the great owl and the raven shall live in it.
He shall stretch the line of confusion
    and the plummet of chaos over it.^(A)

²⁵ This is your lot,
    the portion I have measured out to you, says the Lord,
because you have forgotten me
    and trusted in lies.^(A)
