Job 39:18-27 Common English Bible (CEB)

18. When she flaps her wings high,she laughs at horse and rider.

19. Did you give strength to the horse,clothe his neck with a mane,

20. cause him to leap like a locust,his majestic snorting, a fright?

21. He paws in the valley, prances proudly,charges at battle weapons,

22. laughs at fear, unafraid.He doesn’t turn away from the sword;

23. a quiver of arrows flies by him,flashing spear and dagger.

24. Excitedly, trembling, he swallows the ground;can’t stand still at a trumpet’s blast.

25. At a trumpet’s sound, he says, "Aha!"smells the battle from afar,hears officers’ shouting and the battle cry.

26. Is it due to your understanding that the hawk flies,spreading its wings to the south?

27. Or at your command does the eagle soar,the vulture build a nest on high?
