This creature shows up in Proverbs 30:17: ““The eye that mocks at his father, and scorns obedience to his mother: the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, the young eagles shall…” The Bible is not talking about a sticker. It is talking about a real creature in a real place.
Proverbs 30:17
““The eye that mocks at his father, and scorns obedience to his mother: the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, the young eagles shall eat it.”
