Job 39:22-28

22It laughs at fear and is not dismayed; it does not shy away from the sword.

23On it the quiver rattles; the lance and javelin flash.

24In excitement and impatience it consumes the ground; it cannot stand still when the trumpet is blown.

25At the sound of the trumpet, it says, ‘Aha!’ And from a distance it catches the scent of battle, the thunderous shouting of commanders, and the battle cries.

26“Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars, and spreads its wings toward the south?

27Is it at your command that the eagle soars, and builds its nest on high?

28It lives on a rock and spends the night there, on a rocky crag and a fortress.
