15 
There the arrow snake will make her nest and lay her eggs,
And hatch them and gather her young under her protection;
Indeed, the birds of prey will be gathered there [to breed],
Every one with its own kind.

16 Seek from the book of the Lord, and read:

Not one of these [creatures] will be missing;
None will lack its mate.
For His mouth has commanded,
And His Spirit has gathered them.
17 
The Lord has cast the lot for them,
And His hand has divided and apportioned [a]Edom to the wild beasts by measuring-line.
They will possess it forever;
From generation to generation they will dwell in it.

    each with its mate.

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

None of these will be missing,(D)
