Herds will lie down in her midst, creatures of every kind. Both the desert owl and screech owl will roost atop her pillars. Their calls will sound from the window, but desolation will lie on the threshold, for He will expose the beams of cedar.

World English Bible (WEB)

Herds will lie down in the middle of her, all the animals of the nations. Both the pelican and the porcupine will lodge in its capitals. Their calls will echo through the windows. Desolation will be in the thresholds, for he has laid bare the cedar beams.

King James Version (KJV)

Reina-Valera 1909 (RVR 1909)

Y rebaños de ganado harán en ella majada, todas las bestias de las gentes; el onocrótalo también y el erizo dormirán en sus umbrales: su voz cantará en las ventanas; asolación será en las puertas, porque su enmaderamiento de cedro será descubierto.

Sagradas Escrituras 1569 (SE 1569)

Nueva Biblia Viva (NBV)

La que fuera ciudad orgullosa se convertirá en tierra de pastoreo para ovejas. Toda clase de animales salvajes pondrán ahí su guarida. El erizo tendrá allí su madriguera. Los buitres y los búhos vivirán entre las ruinas de los palacios, cantando desde las ventanas desvencijadas. Los cuervos graznarán desde sus puertas carcomidas. Todo su entablado de cedro quedará a la intemperie, a merced del viento.
