Hosea 11:11

tremble as a bird … as a dove -Tremble" is the literal rendering, but the context shows that a thrill of eagerness doubling the speed of motion is what is meant (comp. Ovid's -pennâ trepidante"). Render therefore, come hurriedly, and continue, as sparrows … as doves. Doves were very early known in both Egypt and Assyria. Elsewhere (Hosea 7:11) Hosea compares the Israelites to doves for their folly. [For the rendering -come hurriedly" comp. the Syriac r'habwhich combines the meanings of haste and trembling.]
