22 He laughs at fear and is not dismayed; he does not turn back from the sword.
23 Upon him rattle the quiver, the flashing spear, and the javelin.
24 With fierceness and rage he swallows the ground; he cannot stand still at 1the sound of the trumpet.
25 When the trumpet sounds, he says ā€˜Aha! ā€™He smells the battle from afar, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
26 ā€œIs it by your understanding that the hawk soars and spreads his wings toward the south?
27 Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up and makes his 2nest on high?
28 On the rock he dwells and makes his home, on 3the rocky crag and stronghold.
29 From there he spies out the prey; his eyes behold it from far away.
30 His young ones suck up blood, and 4where the slain are, there is he. ā€
