“As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.”
Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest—an affirmation that curses without just cause fail to land, establishing that unjustified cursing has no power. The image of the curse as a bird unable to settle emphasizes its ineffectiveness. The theological significance involves the principle that God protects the innocent from unjust curses.
