2 As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by flying, so the curse causeless shall not come.
2 Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse does not come to rest.
2 Like a sparrow in its flitting, like a swallow in its flying, a curse that is causeless does not alight.
2 You have as little to fear from an undeserved curse as from the dart of a wren or the swoop of a swallow.
2 Like a flitting sparrow, like a flying swallow, So a curse without cause shall not alight.
2 Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse will not land on its intended victim.

(Read Proverbs 26:2)
He that is cursed without cause, the curse shall do him no more harm than the bird that flies over his head.
