DEUTERONOMY 28:49 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;”
The LORD will bring a nation from far away, from the ends of the earth, to swoop down on you like an eagle, a nation whose language you do not understand — the enemy is distant ('merchok mechatzei ha'aretz'), eagle-swift ('ka-nesher'), linguistically alien. The description anticipates the Babylonian exile.
