Job 39:26 in context

  1. 24He eats up the ground with fierceness and rage,
    neither does he stand still at the sound of the trumpet.
  2. 25As often as the trumpet sounds he snorts, ‘Aha!’
    He smells the battle afar off,
    the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
  3. 26“Is it by your wisdom that the hawk soars,
    and stretches her wings toward the south?
  4. 27Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up,
    and makes his nest on high?
  5. 28On the cliff he dwells, and makes his home,
    on the point of the cliff, and the stronghold.
