Yea the Stork of the heaven knoweth her appointed times, and the Turtle, and the Crane, and the Swallow observe the time of her coming, but my people know not the judgement of the Lord.

Also thou son of man, thus saith the Lord God, unto the Lord of Israel, an end, the end is come upon the four corners of the Land.
