FOOTNOTES:

F18 says, eagles make their nests in rocks, even in the precipices of them, as the philosopher quoted in the preceding verse; and here on the tooth, edge, or precipice of the rock, which is inaccessible, and so like a strong fortified place.

F18 Nat. Hist. l. 10. 3.

Job 39:28 In-Context

26 "Is it through your wisdom that the hawk flies and spreads its wings toward the south?

27 Are you the one that commands the eagle to fly and build its nest so high?

28 It lives on a high cliff and stays there at night; the rocky peak is its protected place.

29 From there it looks for its food; its eyes can see it from far away.

30 Its young eat blood, and where there is something dead, the eagle is there."
