14 (A)And wild animals shall meet with hyenas;
    the wild goat shall cry to his fellow;
indeed, there the night bird[a] settles
    and finds for herself a resting-place.
15 There the owl nests and lays
    and hatches and gathers her young in her shadow;
indeed, there (B)the hawks are gathered,
    each one with her mate.
16 Seek and read from the book of the Lord:
    Not one of these shall be missing;
    none shall be without her mate.
For the mouth of the Lord has commanded,
    and his Spirit has gathered them.

  1. Isaiah 34:14 Identity uncertain

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.
