14 Desert creatures will frolic with hyenas,
    and wild goats will call out to each other;
there, too, the nightjar will return to rest
    and find a place for repose.
15 There will the owl nest and lay eggs,
    and hatch and gather its young under her wings;
there, too, the buzzards will gather,
    each one with its mate.

    Not one of these will be missing,
    not one will be without its mate.
For the mouth of the Lord has commanded this,
    and his Spirit has gathered them together.
