Job 39:11-27

New American Standard Bible

Chapter 39

11Will you trust him because his strength is great, And leave your labor to him? 12Will you have faith in him that he will return your grain And gather it from your threshing floor? 13'The wings of the ostrich flap joyously, With the pinion and feathers of love, 14For she abandons her eggs to the earth And warms them in the dust, 15And she forgets that a foot may crush them, Or that a wild animal may trample them. 16She treats her young cruelly, as if they were not hers; Though her labor is for nothing, she is unconcerned, 17Because God has made her forget wisdom, And has not given her a share of understanding. 18When she rushes away on high, She laughs at the horse and his rider. 19'Do you give the horse his might? Do you clothe his neck with a mane? 20Do you make him leap like locusts? His majestic snorting is frightening. 21 He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength; He goes out to meet the battle. 22He laughs at fear and is not dismayed; And he does not turn back from the sword. 23The quiver rattles against him, The flashing spear and javelin. 24He races over the ground with a roar and fury, And he does not stand still when he hears the sound of the trumpet. 25As often as the trumpet sounds he says, ‘Aha!’ And he senses the battle from afar, And the thunder of the captains and the war cry. 26'Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars, Stretching his wings toward the south? 27Is it at your command that the eagle flies high, And makes his nest on high?
