    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.

    and his Spirit will gather them together.
