The desertcreatures will meet with the wolves, The hairygoat also will cry to its kind; Yes, the nightmonster will settlethere And will find herself a restingplace.
15
The treesnake will make its nest and lay eggs there, And it will hatch and gather them under its protection. Yes, the hawks will be gatheredthere, Everyone with its kind.
16
Seek from the book of the LORD, and read: Not one of these will be missing; None* will 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 will dwell in it.
