15 There hath the ericius had its hole, and brought up its young ones, and hath dug round about, and cherished them in the shadow thereof: thither are the kites gathered together one to another.

16 Search ye diligently in the book of the Lord, and read: not one of them was wanting, one hath not sought for the other: for that which proceedeth out of my mouth, he hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.

17 And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it to them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation they shall dwell therein.

15 The owl will nest there and lay eggs,
    she will hatch them, and care for her young
    under the shadow of her wings;(A)
there also the falcons(B) will gather,
    each with its mate.

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

None of these will be missing,(D)
    not one will lack her mate.
For it is his mouth(E) that has given the order,(F)
    and his Spirit will gather them together.
17 He allots their portions;(G)
    his hand distributes them by measure.
They will possess it forever
    and dwell there from generation to generation.(H)
