New Testament

Job 39:20-30 Modern English Version (MEV)

20. Can you make him afraid like a grasshopper?The glory of his nostrils is awesome.

21. He paws in the valley and rejoices in his strength;he goes on to meet the armed men.

22. He mocks at fear and is not frightened,nor does he turn back from the sword.

23. The quiver rattles against him,the glittering spear and the shield.

24. He devours the distance with fierceness and rage,and he does not stand still at the sound of the trumpet.

25. At the sound of the trumpet he says, ‘Aha’;he smells the battle afar off,the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

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

27. Does the eagle mount up at your commandand make her nest on high?

28. She dwells and remains on the rock,upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.

29. From there she seeks the prey,and her eyes see it from afar.

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