And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
Ver. 15. And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them] This brutish and blockish bird forgetteth, that is, she never considereth, what may befall her eggs, left so carelessly. Other fowl set their nests aloft and out of harm's way; not so this foolish and careless creature, who hath neither affection to preserve them nor fear to lose them.
