14 But she leaves her eggs in the earth to be warmed on the ground. 15 And because she has the feet of a bird, forgets that the wild beast may trample them. 16 She multiplies her young ones, though they do not stay with her; although her labor is in vain, she has no fear: 17 God has increased wisdom, but he has not given her a portion of it. 18 She raises herself high like a palm tree; she laughs at the horse and his rider. 19 Have you given the horse strength? Have you clothed his neck with armour? 20 Can you make him move like the locust? Or can you make him afraid? 21 He paws in the plain, and rejoices in the valley; he goes forth armed to the battle. 22 He laughs at a pit, and is not frightened; neither does he turn back from the sword. 23 The quiver rattles against him, the glittering spear and the lance. 24 He gallops with rage that makes the ground to tremble, nor does he fear the sound of the trumpet. 25 He makes the sound, Aha, aha; and he smells the battle from afar; he terrifies the officers with his neighing. 26 Is it by your wisdom that the hawk was created and wings his way toward the south? 27 Does the eagle soar at your command, and make his nest in steep rocks? 28 He dwells and lodges on the rock, upon the cliff of the precipice. 29 He is sustained by his prey, his eyes behold afar off. 30 His young ones suck up blood; and where the slain are, there is he.
