Bible Comments

And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people: and as one gathereth eggs that are left, have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.

My hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people - implying the ease with which he carried off all before him.

As one gathereth eggs (that are) left - by the parent bird.

There was none that moved the wing - image from an angry bird resisting the robbery of its 'nest.'

Or peeped - chirped even low (Isaiah 8:19). No resistance was offered me, of deed, or even word.
