Isaiah 34:15-17
Holman Christian Standard Bible
15 The sand partridge[a] will make her nest there;
she will lay and hatch her eggs
and will gather her brood under her shadow.
Indeed, the birds of prey will gather there,
each with its mate.(A)
16 Search and read the scroll of the Lord:(B)
Not one of them will be missing,
none will be lacking its mate,
because He has ordered it by my[b] mouth,
and He will gather them by His Spirit.
17 He has ordained a lot for them;
His hand allotted their portion with a measuring line.
They will possess it forever;(C)
they will dwell in it from generation to generation.

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.

his hand distributes them by measure.
They will possess it forever
and dwell there from generation to generation.(H)
