Job 39:25-30

Share

Settings

25 When the trumpet sounds, he says 'Aha!' He smells the battle from afar, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
26 "Is 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 1nest on high?
28 On the rock he dwells and makes his home, on 2the 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 3where the slain are, there is he."
