Job 39:24–28 · Berean Standard Bible

24 Trembling with excitement, he devours the distance; he cannot stand still when the ram’s horn sounds.

25 At the blast of the horn, he snorts with fervor. He catches the scent of battle from afar— the shouts of captains and the cry of war.

26 Does the hawk take flight by your understanding and spread his wings toward the south?

27 Does the eagle soar at your command and make his nest on high?

28 He dwells on a cliff and lodges there; his stronghold is on a rocky crag.
