25 "As often as the trumpet sounds he says, 'Aha!' And he scents the battle from afar, And the thunder of the captains and the war cry.
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 mounts up And makes 1his nest on high?
