Bible in Basic English
The arrowsnake will make her hole and put her eggs there, and get her young together under her shade: there the hawks will come together by twos.
See what is recorded in the book of the Lord: all these will be there, not one without the other: the mouth of the Lord has given the order, and his spirit has made them come together.
And he has given them their heritage, and by his hand it has been measured out to them: it will be theirs for ever, their resting-place from generation to generation.
