14 And flocks <05739> shall lie down <07257> (8804) in the midst <08432> of her, all the beasts <02416> of the nations <01471>: both the cormorant <06893> and the bittern <07090> shall lodge <03885> (8799) in the upper lintels <03730> of it; their voice <06963> shall sing <07891> (8787) in the windows <02474>; desolation <02721> shall be in the thresholds <05592>: for he shall uncover <06168> (8765) the cedar work <0731>.
