New Testament

Job 39:23-30 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

23. Many arrows rattle at their sides. Flashing spears and javelins are also there.

24. They are so stirred up that they eat up the ground. They can't stand still when trumpets are blown.

25. When they hear the trumpets they snort, 'Aha!' They catch the smells of battle far away. They hear the shouts of commanders and the battle cries.

26. "Job, are you wise enough to teach hawks where to fly? They spread their wings and fly toward the south.

27. Do you command eagles to fly so high? They build their nests as high as they can.

28. They live on cliffs and stay there at night. High up on the rocks they think they are safe.

29. From there they look for their food. They can see it from far away.

30. Their little ones like to eat blood. Eagles gather where they see dead bodies."
