Isaiah 34:15-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 There the hoot owl shall nest and lay eggs,
hatch them out and gather them in her shadow;
There shall the kites assemble,
each with its mate.
16 Search through the book of the Lord[a] and read:
not one of these shall be lacking,
For the mouth of the Lord has ordered it,
and his spirit gathers them there.
17 It is he who casts the lot for them;
his hand measures off[b] their portions;
They shall possess it forever,
and dwell in it from generation to generation.(A)

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)
