14 Among the howling and hissing wild creatures and demons,
    Lilith herself, demoness of the night, will call Edom her haunt,
A place to recoup and rest between her devastating forays.
15 Owls of all sorts will take up habitation there,
    nesting and laying their eggs.
They will hatch their young and cover them beneath their wings.
    Vultures and their mates will gather there.

16 You can look for it and read all about it in the book of the Eternal One.
    None of these creatures will be missing and none will lack a mate
Because His voice has given the order
    and His Spirit has gathered them in that place.

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.
