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)

15 There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her mate.

16 Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and read: no one of these shall fail, none shall want her mate: for my mouth it hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.

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