New Testament

Job 39:22-30 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

22. He laughs at fear and cannot be terrified;he does not retreat from the sword.

23. Around him rattles the quiver,flashes the spear and the javelin.

24. Frenzied and trembling he devours the ground;he does not hold back at the sound of the trumpet;

25. at the trumpet’s call he cries, “Aha!”Even from afar he scents the battle,the roar of the officers and the shouting.

26. Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars,that he spreads his wings toward the south?

27. Does the eagle fly up at your commandto build his nest up high?

28. On a cliff he dwells and spends the night,on the spur of cliff or fortress.

29. From there he watches for his food;his eyes behold it afar off.

30. His young ones greedily drink blood;where the slain are, there is he.
