14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.

15 There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate.

16 ¶ Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his Spirit it hath gathered them.

14 Desert creatures(A) will meet with hyenas,(B)
    and wild goats will bleat to each other;
there the night creatures(C) will also lie down
    and find for themselves places of rest.
15 The owl will nest there and lay eggs,
    she will hatch them, and care for her young
    under the shadow of her wings;(D)
there also the falcons(E) will gather,
    each with its mate.

16 Look in the scroll(F) of the Lord and read:

None of these will be missing,(G)
    not one will lack her mate.
For it is his mouth(H) that has given the order,(I)
    and his Spirit will gather them together.
