15 There shall the tree snake make its nest and lay eggs,
    and it shall hatch and gather them under its protection;
yes, there shall the vultures also be gathered,
    every one with its kind.

16 Seek from the book of the Lord, and read.

Not one of these shall be missing,
    not one shall lack its mate.
For His mouth has commanded,
    and His Spirit has gathered them.
17 He has cast the lot for them,
    and His hand has divided it to them by line.
They shall possess it forever,
    from generation to generation they shall dwell in it.

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)
