Who among all the gods of these lands has delivered their land from my control, so that the LORD should deliver Jerusalem from me?'"

My hand has found, as if in a nest, the wealth of the people; and as one gathers eggs that have been abandoned, so I have gathered all the inhabitants of the earth. Nothing moved a wing, opened its mouth, or chirped.'
