the ostrich, the great owl, the seagull, and the hawk after their kinds;

the pelican, the carrion vulture, the cormorant,

I am like a pelican of the wilderness; I am like an owl of the desert.

But the wild beasts of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of howling creatures; and young owls shall dwell there, and wild goats shall skip about.

And howling beasts shall respond from desolate places, and dragons in the delightful palaces. Indeed, her time will soon come to pass, and her days shall not be prolonged.

But the pelican and the porcupine shall possess it; the owl also, and the raven, shall dwell in it. And He shall stretch out over it the line of chaos, and the stones of emptiness.

And thorns shall come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in its fortresses; and it shall be a habitation of dragons and a dwelling for young owls.

There the great owl shall make her nest, and lay and hatch, and gather them under her shadow; there shall the birds of prey also be gathered, every one with her mate.

And this is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

But the one doing the truth comes to the Light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been worked in God.

in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the ruler of the authority of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,

among whom also we all formerly conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others;

having their understanding darkened, being alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart;

who, being past feeling, have given themselves over to licentiousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

Therefore do not be partakers with them.

(for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

For many conduct themselves, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ:

whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and who glory in their shame; who set their mind on earthly things.

You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.

For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.

And he cried mightily with a loud voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and has become a dwelling place of demons, a prison for every unclean spirit, and a cage for every unclean and hated bird!
