Job 39:19-30 ▼

19 Hast thou invested the horse with strength, and clothed his neck with terror?

20 And hast thou clad him in perfect armour, and made his breast glorious with courage?

21 He paws exulting in the plain, and goes forth in strength into the plain.

22 He laughs to scorn a king as he meets him, and will by no means turn back from the sword.

23 The bow and sword resound against him; and his rage will swallow up the ground:

24 and he will not believe until the trumpet sounds.

25 And when the trumpet sounds, he says, Aha! and afar off he smells the war with prancing and neighing.

26 And does the hawk remain steady by thy wisdom, having spread out her wings unmoved, looking toward the region of the south?

27 And does the eagle rise at thy command, and the vulture remain sitting over his nest,

28 on a crag of a rock, and in a secret place ?

29 Thence he seeks food, his eyes observe from far.

30 And his young ones roll themselves in blood, and wherever the carcasses may be, immediately they are found.
