Isaiah 34:14-16

Easy-to-Read Version

¹⁴Wild cats will live there with hyenas.^[a] Wild goats^[b] will call to their friends. Night animals^[c] will spend some time there and find a place to rest. ¹⁵Snakes will make their homes there and lay their eggs. The eggs will open, and small snakes will crawl from the dark places. Birds that eat dead things will gather there like women visiting their friends.

¹⁶Look in the Lord’s scroll and read what it says: Not one of these will be missing. Not one will be without its mate. God said he would make this happen, so his Spirit will bring them together.
