Job 39:15-27 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

15. and she forgets that a foot might crush them, or a wild beast tread on them.

16. She treats her young harshly, as if not hers; her toil is in vain, without fear,

17. because Eloah has made her forget wisdom, and did not endow her with understanding.

18. When she lifts herself on high, she laughs at the horse and its rider.

19. Have you given the horse strength? Have you covered his neck with a mane?

20. Would you make him leap like a locust? His splendid snorting is frightening.

21. He paws in the valley, and rejoices in strength. He gallops into the clash of arms.

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

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

24. He eats up the ground with fierceness and rage, and he does not stand still when the ram’s horn sounds.

25. At the blast of the ram’s horn he says, ‘Aha!’ And from afar he smells the battle, the thunder of commanders and shouting.

26. Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, spreading its wings toward the south?

27. Does the eagle mount up at your command, and make its nest on high?
