The comparison between a fluttering sparrow and an undeserved curse in this verse is a powerful image that teaches about wisdom and life. Just as a fluttering sparrow does not find rest, an undeserved curse also does not land or take root. This speaks to the futility of false accusations and unjust curses. In the same way that a sparrow cannot find peace in flight, an undeserved curse cannot find a lasting place in the life of a believer. This verse encourages us to trust in God's justice and protection. No matter how many false accusations or curses may come our way, they will not take root if we remain grounded in God's truth. It is a reminder to trust in God’s wisdom and protection, knowing that He will not allow injustice to prevail in the lives of those who walk in His righteousness.
Psalm 147:9
He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry.

The stork, heron, hoopoe, and bat—all are mentioned in the law concerning clean and unclean animals.
Psalm 50:11
I know every bird in the mountains, and the insects in the fields are mine.
Jeremiah 8:7
Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons, and the dove, the swift, and the thrush observe the time of their migration.
