“As an eagle that protects its nest,
That flutters over its young,
He spread out His wings and took them,
He carried them on His pinions.

My heart flutters. Horror has frightened me. The twilight that I desired has been turned into trembling to me.

Like as birds flutter about their nests, so shall the LORD of Hosts keep, save, defend and deliver Jerusalem.

Like a fluttering sparrow or a swallow in flight, a curse without cause will not alight.

Until an arrow pierced his liver [with a mortal wound];
Like a bird fluttering straight into the net,
He did not know that it would cost him his life.

Like fluttering birds, like an abandoned nest, so are the daughters of Moab at the fords of the Arnon River.

In reference to the prophets: Broken hath been my heart in my midst, Fluttered have all my bones, I have been as a man -- a drunkard, And as a man -- wine hath passed over him, Because of Jehovah, and of His holy words.

the earth hath existed waste and void, and darkness is on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God fluttering on the face of the waters,

My hand has reached out, as if into a nest,
to seize the wealth of the nations.
Like one gathering abandoned eggs,
I gathered the whole earth.
No wing fluttered;
no beak opened or chirped.
