15 There shall the owl nest and lay
    and hatch and gather her young in her shadow;
yea, there shall the kites be gathered,
    each one with her mate.
16 Seek and read from the book of the Lord:
    Not one of these shall be missing;
    none shall be without her mate.
For the mouth of the Lord has commanded,
    and his Spirit has gathered them.
17 He has cast the lot for them,
    his hand has portioned it out to them with the line;
they shall possess it for ever,
    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)
