Bible Verses About Birds

you laid the beams of your palace on the water. You make the clouds your chariot, you ride on the wings of the wind.

You make winds your messengers, fiery flames your servants.

You fixed the earth on its foundations, never to be moved.

You covered it with the deep like a garment; the waters stood above the mountains.

At your rebuke they fled; at the sound of your thunder they rushed away,

flowing over hills, pouring into valleys, down to the place you had fixed for them.

You determined a boundary they could not cross; they were never to cover the earth again.

You make springs gush forth in the vadis; they flow between the hills,

supplying water to all the wild animals; the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

On their banks the birds of the air build their nests; among the branches they sing.

My son, if sinners entice you, don't go along with them.

Suppose they say, "Come with us: we'll ambush somebody and kill him, we'll waylay some harmless soul, just for fun;

we'll swallow him alive, like Sh'ol, whole, like those who descend to the pit;

we'll find everything he has of value, we'll fill our homes with loot!

Throw in your lot with us; we'll share a common purse"-

my son, don't go along with them, don't set foot on their path;

Their feet run to evil, they rush to shed blood.

For in vain is the net baited if any bird can see it;

Aren't sparrows sold for next to nothing, two for an assarion? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father's consent.

As for you, every hair on your head has been counted.

So do not be afraid, you are worth more than many sparrows.
