²⁸ Wherever the dead body is, there will the eagles come together.

³⁷ And they, answering him, said, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there will the eagles come together.

⁴⁹ The Lord will send a nation against you from the farthest ends of the earth, coming with the flight of an eagle; a nation whose language is strange to you;

²⁷ Shaking with passion, he is biting the earth; he is not able to keep quiet at the sound of the horn;

²⁸ When it comes to his ears he says, Aha! He is smelling the fight from far off, and hearing the thunder of the captains, and the war-cries.

²⁹ Is it through your knowledge that the hawk takes his flight, stretching out his wings to the south?

³⁰ Or is it by your orders that the eagle goes up, and makes his resting-place on high?

¹⁶ See, I will send for great numbers of fishermen, says the Lord, and they will take them like fish in a net; and after that, I will send for numbers of bowmen, and they will go after them, driving them from every mountain and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.

¹ I saw the Lord stationed by the side of the altar, giving blows to the tops of the pillars so that the doorsteps were shaking: and he said, I will let all of them be broken with earth-shocks; I will put the last of them to the sword: if any one of them goes in flight he will not get away, not one of them will be safe.

² Even if they go deep into the underworld, my hand will take them up from there; if they go up to heaven, I will get them down:

³ Though they take cover on the top of Carmel, I will go in search of them and get them out; though they keep themselves from my eyes in the bed of the sea, I will give orders to the great snake there and he will give them a bite:

⁴ And though they are taken away as prisoners by their attackers, even there will I give orders to the sword to put them to death: my eyes will be fixed on them for evil and not for good.
