“‘You have seen what I did to the Egyptians and how I carried you on eagles’ wings and brought you to myself.

“You are to abhor these birds. They must not be eaten because they are abhorrent:

eagles,[fn] bearded vultures,

Egyptian vultures,[fn]

“but these are the ones you may not eat:

eagles, bearded vultures,

black vultures,

“The LORD will bring a nation from far away, from the ends of the earth, to swoop down on you like an eagle, a nation whose language you won’t understand,

He watches over[fn] his nest like an eagle

and hovers over his young;

he spreads his wings, catches him,

and carries him on his feathers.

Saul and Jonathan,

loved and delightful,

they were not parted in life or in death.

They were swifter than eagles, stronger than lions.

They sweep by like boats made of papyrus,

like an eagle swooping down on its prey.

Does the eagle soar at your command

and make its nest on high?

He satisfies you[fn] with good things;

your youth is renewed like the eagle.

As soon as your eyes fly to it, it disappears,

for it makes wings for itself

and flies like an eagle to the sky.

As for the eye that ridicules a father

and despises obedience to a mother,

may ravens of the valley pluck it out

and young vultures eat it.

the way of an eagle in the sky,

the way of a snake on a rock,

the way of a ship at sea,

and the way of a man with a young woman.

but those who trust in the LORD

will renew their strength;

they will soar on wings like eagles;

they will run and not become weary,

they will walk and not faint.

Look, he advances like clouds;

his chariots are like a storm.

His horses are swifter than eagles.

Woe to us, for we are ruined!

For this is what the LORD says:

Look! He will swoop down like an eagle

and spread his wings against Moab.

As to the terror you cause,[fn]

your arrogant heart has deceived you.

You who live in the clefts of the rock,[fn]

you who occupy the mountain summit,

though you elevate your nest like the eagles,

even from there I will bring you down.

This is the LORD’s declaration.

Look! It will be like an eagle soaring upward, then swooping down and spreading its wings over Bozrah. In that day the hearts of Edom’s warriors will be like the heart of a woman with contractions.

Those who chased us were swifter

than eagles in the sky;

they relentlessly pursued us over the mountains

and ambushed us in the wilderness.

Their faces looked something like the face of a human, and each of the four had the face of a lion on the right, the face of an ox on the left, and the face of an eagle.

Each one had four faces: one was the face of a cherub, the second the face of a human, the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle.

“You are to say, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: A huge eagle with powerful wings, long feathers, and full plumage of many colors came to Lebanon and took the top of the cedar.

“ ‘But there was another huge eagle with powerful wings and thick plumage. And this vine bent its roots toward him! It stretched out its branches to him from the plot where it was planted, so that he might water it.

Put the ram’s horn to your mouth!

One like an eagle comes

against the house of the LORD,

because they transgress my covenant

and rebel against my law.

Though you seem to soar[fn] like an eagle

and make your nest among the stars,

even from there I will bring you down.

This is the LORD’s declaration.

Shave yourselves bald and cut off your hair

in sorrow for your precious children;

make yourselves as bald as an eagle,

for they have been taken from you into exile.

Their horses are swifter than leopards

and more fierce[fn] than wolves of the night.

Their horsemen charge ahead;

their horsemen come from distant lands.

They fly like eagles, swooping to devour.
