Verse 14
And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people ,.... With that ease as a man finds a nest of birds, and takes them:
and as one gathereth eggs that are left ; by the bird, who not sitting upon them, there is none to protect them; whereas, when they are sat upon by the bird, she will flutter with her wings, and strike with her bill, and preserve them as well as she can:
have I gathered all the earth ; the kingdoms and inhabitants of it, there being none to resist, or that dared to do it, as follows:
and there was none that moved the wing ; as a bird will do, when its young or eggs are taken away from it:
or opened the mouth, or peeped ; chattered, clucked, or expressed any grief, uneasiness, or resentment; the Targum is,
"that opened his mouth, and spoke a word.'
Be the first to react on this!
