Job 39:22-32

22 contemnit pavorem nec cedit gladio

23 super ipsum sonabit faretra vibrabit hasta et clypeus

24 fervens et fremens sorbet terram nec reputat tubae sonare clangorem

25 ubi audierit bucinam dicet va procul odoratur bellum exhortationem ducum et ululatum exercitus

26 numquid per sapientiam tuam plumescit accipiter expandens alas suas ad austrum

27 aut ad praeceptum tuum elevabitur aquila et in arduis ponet nidum suum

28 in petris manet et in praeruptis silicibus commoratur atque inaccessis rupibus

29 inde contemplatur escam et de longe oculi eius prospiciunt

30 pulli eius lambent sanguinem et ubicumque cadaver fuerit statim adest

31 et adiecit Dominus et locutus est ad Iob

32 numquid qui contendit cum Deo tam facile conquiescit utique qui arguit Deum debet respondere ei

Job 39:22-32 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOB 39

This chapter treats of various creatures, beasts and birds, which Job had little knowledge of, had no concern in the making of them, and scarcely any power over them; as of the goats and hinds, Job 39:1-4; of the wild ass, Job 39:5-8; of the unicorn, Job 39:9-12; of the peacock and ostrich, Job 39:13-18; of the horse, Job 39:19-25; and of the hawk and eagle, Job 39:26-30.
