15 Owls will build their nests there.
    They will take care of their eggs
    until the baby birds come out.
    They will keep their babies safe under their wings.
Hawks will meet there too.
    They will be together in pairs, male and female.
16 Read the Lord's book very carefully:
‘All these animals and birds will be there.
    They will all be together in pairs.
The Lord himself has commanded what must happen.
    His Spirit brings them all together.’
17 The Lord has decided where each one will live.
    He measures a place for every kind of animal and bird.
The land will always belong to them to live in.
    It will be their home from one century to the next.

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)
