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 by your wisdom that the hawk soars, And stretches her wings toward the south?

27 Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up, And makes his nest on high?

28 On the cliff he dwells, and makes his home, On the point of the cliff, and the stronghold.

29 From there he spies out the prey. His eyes see it afar off.

30 His young ones also suck up blood. Where the slain are, there he is."
