19. Have you given the horse strength? have you clothed his neck with thunder?
20. Can you make him afraid like a grasshopper? the majesty of his snorting is terrible.
21. He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength: he goes out to meet the armed men.
22. He mocks at fear, and is not frightened; neither turns he back from the sword.
23. The quiver rattles against him, the glittering spear and the javelin.
24. He swallows the ground with fierceness and rage: neither does he halt at the sound of the trumpet.

26. Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?

30. Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.
