sparrows
very small, seed-eating birds
not one of them is forgotten in the sight of God
This could be stated in active form and in positive form. Alternate translation: "God never forgets any of them" or "God indeed remembers every sparrow" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-litotes)
