Ezekiel 7:16

But they that escape of them shall escape and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, driven from their natural habitat, far removed from their nests, all of them mourning, making known their sorrow, their feeling of pain and grief, every one for his iniquity. The mournful cry of the dove is a fitting comparison at this point, the mixing of figure and reality tending to increase the emphasis.
