For in vain the net is spread in the sight of every lord of the wing.
teaching us more than the animals of the earth, and making us wiser than the birds of the heavens?
for their feet run to evil and they haste to shed blood.
And they lie in wait for their own blood, they are hiding for their own souls.
until an arrow strikes through his liver, like a bird hastening to the snare, and not knowing that it is for his soul.
The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master’s manger, but Israel does not know; My people have not understood.
Also the stork in the heavens knows her seasons, and the turtledove and the swallow and the thrush observe the time of their coming. But My people do not know the judgment of Jehovah.
