Giobbe 39:27

Listen to Giobbe 39:27
27 (H39-30) L’aquila si leva ella ad alto per lo tuo comandamento? E fai tu ch’ella faccia il suo nido in luoghi elevati?

Giobbe 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 ) .

Giobbe 39:27 In-Context

25 (H39-28) Come prima la tromba ha sonato, egli dice: Aha, Aha; Da lontano annasa la battaglia, Lo schiamazzo de’ capitani; e le grida.
26 (H39-29) È per il tuo senno che lo sparviere vola? Che spiega le sue ali verso il mezzodì?
27 (H39-30) L’aquila si leva ella ad alto per lo tuo comandamento? E fai tu ch’ella faccia il suo nido in luoghi elevati?
28 (H39-31) Ella dimora e si ripara nelle rupi, Nelle punte delle rocce, ed in luoghi inaccessibili.
29 (H39-32) Di là ella spia il pasto, Gli occhi suoi mirano da lontano.
