Isaiah 34:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 There [a]shall the owl make her nest, and lay and hatch, and gather them under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, every one with her make.
16 Seek in the [b]book of the Lord, and read: none of [c]these shall fail, none shall want her make: for [d]his mouth hath commanded, and his very spirit hath gathered them.
17 And he hath cast the [e]lot for them, and his hand hath divided unto them by line: they shall possess it forever: from generation to generation shall they dwell in it.

Isaiah 34:15-17
New International Version
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)
