22 He laugheth at fear, and is not affrighted, And he turneth not back from the face of the sword. 23 Against him rattle doth quiver, The flame of a spear, and a halbert. 24 With trembling and rage he swalloweth the ground, And remaineth not stedfast Because of the sound of a trumpet. 25 Among the trumpets he saith, Aha, And from afar he doth smell battle, Roaring of princes and shouting. 26 By thine understanding flieth a hawk? Spreadeth he his wings to the south? 27 At thy command goeth an eagle up high? Or lifteth he up his nest? 28 A rock he doth inhabit, Yea, he lodgeth on the tooth of a rock, and fortress. 29 From thence he hath sought food, To a far off place his eyes look attentively, 30 And his brood gulp up blood, And where the pierced are -- there is he!
