14 Wild animals and hyenas will meet there.
    Wild goats will call out to each other.
The night monster will come there,
    and she will find a place to stay.
15 Owls will build their nests there.
    They will take care of their eggs
    until the baby birds come out.
    They will keep their babies safe under their wings.
Hawks will meet there too.
    They will be together in pairs, male and female.
16 Read the Lord's book very carefully:
‘All these animals and birds will be there.
    They will all be together in pairs.
The Lord himself has commanded what must happen.
    His Spirit brings them all together.’

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.
