Isaiah 31:5
As birds flying, so will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem; defending also he will deliver it; and passing over he will preserve it.
KJV
Sicut aves volantes, sic proteget Dominus exercituum Jerusalem, protegens et liberans, transiens et salvans.
Vulgate
ὡς ὄρνεα πετόμενα, οὕτως ὑπερασπιεῖ Κύριος σαβαώθ, ὑπὲρ Ἰερουσαλὴμ ὑπερασπιεῖ καὶ ἐξελεῖται, καὶ περιποιήσεται καὶ σώσει.
LXX
As birds hovering, so will Jehovah of hosts protect Jerusalem; he will protect and deliver it, he will pass over and preserve it.
