I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone on the housetop.

They have chased me relentlessly like a bird, those who are my enemies without cause.

I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the house top.

Mine enemies chased me sore, like a bird, without cause.

They will come trembling like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of Assyria and I will settle them in their houses, says Yahweh.

They shall tremble as a bird out of Egypt, and as a dove out of the land of Assyria and I will place them in their houses, saith the LORD.
