Isaiah 34:14-16
Evangelical Heritage Version
Isaiah 34:14-16
Evangelical Heritage Version
14 Desert animals and hyenas will gather,
and wild goats[a] will bleat to each other.
Creatures of the night[b] will settle there
and find a resting place.
15 An owl[c] will nest there.
She will lay eggs, hatch them,
and gather her young under her shade.
Falcons will gather there too,
each with its mate.
16 Search through the book of the Lord, and read.
Not one of them will be missing.
Not one will lack her mate.
For his mouth has commanded this,
and his Spirit has gathered them together.
