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.
