¹³ "'These you shall detest among the birds; they shall not be eaten, they are an abomination: the eagle, and the vulture, and the black vulture,

¹² But these are they of which you shall not eat: the eagle, and the gier-eagle, and the ospray,

¹³ and the red kite, and the falcon, and the kite after its kind,

¹⁴ and every raven after its kind,

¹⁵ and the ostrich, and the night-hawk, and the sea-mew, and the hawk after its kind,

¹⁶ the little owl, and the great owl, and the horned owl,

¹⁷ and the pelican, and the vulture, and the cormorant,

¹⁸ and the stork, and the heron after its kind, and the hoopoe, and the bat.

¹⁹ All winged creeping things are unclean to you: they shall not be eaten.

²⁰ Of all clean birds you may eat.

¹³ "Their throat is an open tomb. With their tongues they have used deceit." "The poison of vipers is under their lips;"

¹⁴ "Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness."

¹⁵ "Their feet are swift to shed blood.

¹⁶ Destruction and misery are in their ways.

¹⁷ The way of peace, they haven't known."

²⁸ Even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

²⁹ being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil habits, secret slanderers,

³⁰ backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

³¹ without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unforgiving, unmerciful;

³² who, knowing the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also approve of those who practice them.

²⁸ For wherever the carcass is, there will the vultures{or, eagles} be gathered together.

⁸ Their horses also are swifter than leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves. Their horsemen press proudly on. Yes, their horsemen come from afar. They fly as an eagle that hurries to devour.

¹ "Put the trumpet to your lips! Something like an eagle is over Yahweh's house, Because they have broken my covenant, And rebelled against my law.

¹⁹ Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the sky: They chased us on the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.

⁴⁰ For thus says Yahweh: Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread out his wings against Moab.

²² For my people are foolish, they don't know me; they are foolish children, and they have no understanding; they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

¹³ Behold, he shall come up as clouds, and his chariots [shall be] as the whirlwind: his horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us! for we are ruined.

²⁷ Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up, And makes his nest on high?

²⁸ On the cliff he dwells, and makes his home, On the point of the cliff, and the stronghold.

²⁹ From there he spies out the prey. His eyes see it afar off.

³⁰ His young ones also suck up blood. Where the slain are, there he is."

⁴¹ Who provides for the raven his prey, When his young ones cry to God, And wander for lack of food?

⁷ That path no bird of prey knows, Neither has the falcon's eye seen it.

³ For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
