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.
