Let them come trembling like a small bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of Assyria, - so will I cause them to dwell by their own houses, Declareth Yahweh.

In Yahweh, have I sought refuge. How can ye say to my soul, Flee to a mountain like a little bird;

I have watched and am become, Like a bird sitting alone upon a housetop.

After that, I was looking, and lo! another like a leopard, and it, had four wings of a bird upon its back, - and four heads, had the wild beast, and dominion, was given to it,

Whithersoever they go, I will spread over them my net, like a bird of the heavens, will I bring them down, I will chastise them, by the time the report can reach the flock of them.

As for Ephraim! like a bird, did their glory, fly away, - no birth, and none with child, no conception.
