เฉลยธรรมบัญญัติ 22:7

Verse 7. You shall be careful to acknowledge that the origin of them is not from yourself, and then the truths may be adjoined to the life and made use of; that it may be well with your soul, and that your states in the heavenly life may be full and complete. [Note.—Birds denote thoughts, ideas, reasonings (AC Index). They are insinuated into the faculties of the soul from the world of spirits. Good thoughts are from heaven; man should make use of and appropriate them, but acknowledge they are not from himself.]
