Job 39:19-34 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

19. Wilt thou give strength to the horse, or clothe his neck with neighing?

20. Wilt thou lift him up like the locusts? the glory of his nostrils is terror.

21. He breaketh up the earth with his hoof, he pranceth boldly, he goeth forward to meet armed men.

22. He despiseth fear, he turneth not his back to the sword,

23. Above him shall the quiver rattle, the spear and shield shall glitter.

24. Chasing and raging he swalloweth the ground, neither doth he make account when the noise of the trumpet soundeth.

25. When he heareth the trumpet he saith: Ha, ha: he smelleth the battle afar off, the encouraging of the captains, and the shouting of the army.

26. Doth the hawk wax feathered by thy wisdom, spreading her wings to the south?

27. Will the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest in high places?

28. She abideth among the rocks, and dwelleth among cragged flints, and stony hills, where there is no access.

29. From thence she looketh for the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.

30. Her young ones shall suck up blood: and wheresoever the carcass shall be, she is immediately there.

31. And the Lord went on, and said to Job:

32. Shall he that contendeth with God be so easily silenced? surely he that reproveth God, ought to answer him.

33. Then Job answered the Lord, and said:

34. One thing I have spoken, which I wish I had not said: and another, to which I will add no more.
