14 Wild animals and wild dogs will congregate there;wild goats will bleat to one another.Yes, nocturnal animals will rest thereand make for themselves a nest.
15 Owls will make nests and lay eggs there;they will hatch them and protect them.Yes, hawks will gather there,each with its mate.
16 Carefully read the scroll of the Lord!Not one of these creatures will be missing,none will lack a mate.For the Lord has issued the decree,and his own spirit gathers them.
17 He assigns them their allotment;he measures out their assigned place.They will live there permanently;they will settle in it through successive generations.
