13 “The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully,

though they cannot compare

with the wings and feathers of the stork.

13 Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks?

Or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?

13 “The ostrich flaps her wings grandly,

but they are no match for the feathers of the stork.

13 “The wings of the ostrich wave proudly,

But are her wings and pinions like the kindly stork’s?

13 “The wings of the ostrich flap happily,

but they are not like the feathers of the stork.

13 The wings of the ostrich wave proudly;

But are they the pinions and plumage of love?

13 The wing of the ostrich beats joyously—But is it the stork’s pinion and plumage?

13 “Does the ostrich flap its wings in joy, 

or do its wings lack feathers?

13 The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully,

but are her feathers and plumage like the stork’s?

13 “The ostrich’s wings flap wildly,

though its pinions lack plumage.

13 “The wings of the female ostrich flap—

are they the pinions of the stork or the falcon?

13 “The wings of ostriches flap with joy.

But they can’t compare with the wings and feathers of storks.

13 “The ostriches’ wings flap joyously

With the pinion and plumage of love,
