Job 39:27

Listen to Job 39:27
27 ¿Acaso a tu mandato se remonta el águila y hace en las alturas su nido?

Job 39:27 Meaning and Commentary

Job 39:27

Doth the eagle mount up at thy command
No; but by an instinct which God has placed in it, and a capacity he has given it above all other birds. They take a circuit in their flight, and bend about before they soar aloft: but the eagle steers its course directly upwards towards heaven, till out of sight; and, as Apuleius says F16, up to the clouds, where it rains and snows, and beyond which there is no place for thunder and lightning;

and make her nest on high?
so the philosopher says F17; eagles make their nests not in plains, but in high places, especially in cragged rocks, as in ( Job 39:28 ) .

Job 39:27 In-Context

25 Cada vez que la trompeta suena, como que dice: "¡Ea!", y desde lejos olfatea la batalla, las voces atronadoras de los capitanes y el grito de guerra.
26 ¿Acaso por tu sabiduría se eleva el gavilán, extendiendo sus alas hacia el sur?
27 ¿Acaso a tu mandato se remonta el águila y hace en las alturas su nido?
28 En la peña mora y se aloja, sobre la cima del despeñadero, lugar inaccesible.
29 Desde allí acecha la presa; desde muy lejos sus ojos la divisan.
