But these are they of which ye shall not eat: the eagle, and the ossifrage, and the ospray,

And every raven after his kind,

The little owl, and the great owl, and the swan,

And the stork, and the heron after her kind, and the lapwing, and the bat.

But of all clean fowls ye may eat.

There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen:

Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?

From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.

Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots shall be as a whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe unto us! for we are spoiled.

For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they are sottish children, and they have none understanding: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

For thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.

Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.

Set the trumpet to thy mouth. He shall come as an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have transgressed my covenant, and trespassed against my law.

Their horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves: and their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from far; they shall fly as the eagle that hasteth to eat.

For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.

And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

Their feet are swift to shed blood:

And the way of peace have they not known:

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
