New Testament

Job 39:15-30 God's Word Translation (GW)

15. It forgets that a foot may crush themor a wild animal may trample them.

16. It acts harshly toward its young as if they weren’t its own.It is not afraid that its work is for nothing

17. because God has deprived it of wisdomand did not give it any understanding.

18. It laughs at the horse and its rider when it gets up to flee.

19. “Can you give strength to a horseor dress its neck with a flowing mane?

20. Can you make it leap like a locust,when its snorting causes terror?

21. It paws in strength and finds joy in its power.It charges into battle.

22. It laughs at fear,is afraid of nothing,and doesn’t back away from swords.

23. A quiver of arrows rattles on italong with the flashing spear and javelin.

24. Anxious and excited, the horse eats up the groundand doesn’t trust the sound of the ram’s horn.

25. As often as the horn sounds, the horse says, ‘Aha!’and it smells the battle far away—the thundering ⌊orders⌋ of the captains and the battle cries.

26. “Does your understanding make a bird of prey flyand spread its wings toward the south?

27. Is it by your order that the eagle flies highand makes its nest on the heights?

28. It perches for the night on a cliff.Its fortress is on a jagged peak.

29. From there it seeks food,and its eyes see it from far away.

30. Its young ones feed on blood.It is found wherever there are dead bodies.”
