I removed the boundaries of nations, and plundered their treasures; like a bull I brought down those who sat on thrones. 14 My hand has found, as if in a nest, the wealth of the people; and as one gathers eggs that have been abandoned, so I have gathered all the inhabitants of the earth. Nothing moved a wing, opened its mouth, or chirped.'
