Genesis 1:20-22
Then God said,“ Let the waters swarm with fish and other life. Let the skies be filled with birds of every kind.”So God created great sea creatures and every living thing that scurries and swarms in the water, and every sort of bird— each producing offspring of the same kind. And God saw that it was good.Then God blessed them, saying,“ Be fruitful and multiply. Let the fish fill the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.”

Ezekiel 14:15-16
“ Or suppose I were to send wild animals to invade the country, kill the people, and make the land too desolate and dangerous to pass through.As surely as I live, says the Sovereign Lord, even if those three men were there, they wouldn’t be able to save their own sons or daughters. They alone would be saved, but the land would be made desolate.

Matthew 10:29-31
What is the price of two sparrows— one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it.And the very hairs on your head are all numbered.So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.

Job 39:26-30
“ Is it your wisdom that makes the hawk soar and spread its wings toward the south?Is it at your command that the eagle rises to the heights to make its nest?It lives on the cliffs, making its home on a distant, rocky crag.From there it hunts its prey, keeping watch with piercing eyes.Its young gulp down blood. Where there’s a carcass, there you’ll find it.”

Job 39:13-18
“ The ostrich flaps her wings grandly, but they are no match for the feathers of the stork.She lays her eggs on top of the earth, letting them be warmed in the dust.She doesn’t worry that a foot might crush them or a wild animal might destroy them.She is harsh toward her young, as if they were not her own. She doesn’t care if they die.For God has deprived her of wisdom. He has given her no understanding.But whenever she jumps up to run, she passes the swiftest horse with its rider.
