Job 39:22-30 ▼

22 He laughs at dread and is not dismayed; And he does not turn back from the sword.

23 The quiver rattles against him, The flashing spear and javelin.

24 With shaking and rage he races over the ground, And he does not stand still at the sound of the trumpet.

25 As often as the trumpet sounds he says, ‘Aha!’ And he scents the battle from afar, And the thunder of the commanders and the shout of war.

26 “Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars, Stretching his wings toward the south?

27 Is it at your command that the eagle goes on high And raises his nest high?

28 On the cliff he dwells and lodges, Upon the rocky crag, a fortress.

29 From there he spies out food; His eyes see it from afar.

30 His young ones also suck up blood; And where the slain are, there is he.”
