Isaiah 34:14-16
International Standard Version
Isaiah 34:14-16
International Standard Version
14 And desert creatures will meet with hyenas,
and goat-demons will call out to each other.
There also Liliths[a] will settle,
and find for themselves[b] a resting place.
15 Owls[c] will nest there, lay eggs,
hatch them, and care for their young
under the shadow of their wings;[d]
yes[e] indeed, vultures will gather there,
each one with its mate.”
The Certainty of God’s Deliverance
16 “Study and read from the book of the Lord:
And not one[f] will be missing,
each will not long for its mate.[g]
For it is the mouth of the Lord that has issued the order,
and it is his Spirit that has gathered them.
