Like a fluttering sparrow or a darting swallow, an undeserved curse will not land on its intended victim.

麻雀往来，燕子翻飞；这样，无故的咒诅也必不临到。

诅咒不会无故临到，正如麻雀掠过，燕子翻飞。

诅咒不会无故临到，正如麻雀掠过，燕子翻飞。

麻雀翻飞，燕子翱翔，咒诅不会无端降临。

麻雀怎样飞来飞去，燕子怎样翻飞；照样，无故的咒诅也不会临到人。

就像麻雀在翻飞，燕子在飞翔，无故的诅咒也不会降下。

麻雀往來，燕子翻飛；這樣，無故的咒詛也必不臨到。

詛咒不會無故臨到，正如麻雀掠過，燕子翻飛。

詛咒不會無故臨到，正如麻雀掠過，燕子翻飛。

麻雀翻飛，燕子翱翔，咒詛不會無端降臨。

麻雀怎樣飛來飛去，燕子怎樣翻飛；照樣，無故的咒詛也不會臨到人。

麻雀怎樣飛來飛去，燕子怎樣翻飛，無緣無故而發的咒詛也怎樣不會應驗。

就像麻雀在翻飛，燕子在飛翔，無故的詛咒也不會降下。

無故之詛、如雀之翔、如燕之飛、靡所棲止、

徒以言語咒詛者、必不降災、猶燕雀翱翔而不加害。

無故之詛言無驗、如燕雀飛過而不見、或作無故之詛言應於本身如燕雀飛回故巢

These nations did not welcome you with food and water when you came out of Egypt.
