14 And desert creatures shall meet with hyenas,
    and a goat-demon shall call to his neighbor;
surely there Lilith[a] shall repose,
    and she shall find a resting place for herself.
15 There the owl shall nest and lay
    and hatch and care for her chicks in her shadow;
surely there the birds of prey shall be gathered,
    each one with her mate.

16 Seek from the book of Yahweh and read;[b]

none of these shall be missing;
    none shall miss her mate.
For my[c] mouth is the one that[d] has commanded,
    and his spirit is the one that[e] has gathered them.
