Isaiah 10:14
"My hand has found the riches of the peoples like a nest, and like one gathers eggs that are abandoned, have I gathered all the earth. There was no one who moved their wing, or that opened their mouth, or chirped.""

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And my hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people,.... With that ease as a man finds a nest of birds, and takes them: and as one

gathereth eggs that are left; by the bird, who not sitting upon them, there is none to protect them; whereas, when they are sat upon by the bird, she will flutter with her wings, and strike with her bill, and preserve them as well as she can: have I gathered all the earth; the kingdoms and inhabitants of it, there being none to resist, or that dared to do it, as follows: and there was none that moved the wing; as a bird will do, when its young or eggs are taken away from it: or opened the mouth, or peeped; chattered, clucked, or expressed any grief, uneasiness, or resentment; the Targum is, "that opened his mouth, and spoke a word.''
