and the barn owl, and the pelican, and the owl-vulture;

and the pelican, and the owl, and the cormorant,

For my days go up like smoke, and my bones glow like a firebrand.

But the pelican and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also, and the raven, shall dwell in it. And He shall stretch out on it the line of shame, and the stones of emptiness.

And flocks shall lie down in her midst, all the beasts of a nation; both the pelican and the bittern shall roost in the capitals of its pillars; a voice shall sing at the window, ruin shall be at the doorsill, for he will bare the cedar-work.
