I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.
I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
I am like a pelican of the wilderness: I am like an owl of the desert.
I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the housetop.
though thou hast sore broken us in the place of dragons, and covered us with the shadow of death.
And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be a habitation of dragons, and a court for owls.
Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O Lord, I am oppressed; undertake for me.
Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls.
and I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
