Study Lenses

The verse centers on "litle", "owle", "connorant", and "great". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "litle" and "owle", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 16's "The ostrich also and the night crowe..." into verse 18's "Also the redshanke and the pelicane and...", so "litle" and "owle" belong inside that flow. In Leviticus context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "litle" and "owle" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
