Even a sparrow finds a home,

and a swallow, a nest for herself

where she places her young —

near your altars, LORD of Armies,

my King and my God.

Your cheeks are beautiful with jewelry,

your neck with its necklace.

The blossoms appear in the countryside.

The time of singing[fn] has come,

and the turtledove’s cooing is heard in our land.

“Even storks in the sky

know their seasons.

Turtledoves, swallows, and cranes[fn]

are aware of their migration,

but my people do not know

the requirements of the LORD.

“As for you, you are to prophesy all these things to them, and say to them:

The LORD roars from on high;

he makes his voice heard from his holy dwelling.

He roars loudly over his grazing land;

he calls out with a shout, like those who tread grapes,

against all the inhabitants of the earth.
