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;[a]

none of these shall be missing;
    none shall miss her mate.
For my[b] mouth is the one that[c] has commanded,
    and his spirit is the one that[d] has gathered them.
17 And he is the one that[e] has cast the lot for them,
    and his hand has apportioned it to them with the measuring line;
they shall take possession of it forever,
    they shall live in it from generation to generation.[f]
