Job 39:20-29
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 39
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? 28He dwells and spends his nights on the cliff, On the rocky cliff, an inaccessible place. 29From there he tracks food; His eyes look at it from afar.King James Version
Chapter 39
20Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible. 21He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men. 22He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword. 23The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield. 24He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet. 25He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 39
20Do you make him leap like a locust? His proud snorting fills one with terror. 21He paws in the valley and rejoices in his strength; he charges into battle. 22He laughs at fear, since he is afraid of nothing; he does not run from the sword. 23A quiver rattles at his side, along with a flashing spear and a javelin. 24He charges ahead with trembling rage; he cannot stand still at the sound of the ram's horn.
25When the ram's horn blasts, he snorts defiantly. He smells the battle from a distance; he hears the officers' shouts and the battle cry.
26Does the hawk take flight by your understanding and spread its wings to the south?
27Does the eagle soar at your command and make its nest on high?
28It lives on a cliff where it spends the night; its stronghold is on a rocky crag.
29From there it searches for prey; its eyes penetrate the distance.
New Living Translation
Chapter 39
20Did you give it the ability to leap like a locust? Its majestic snorting is terrifying! 21It paws the earth and rejoices in its strength when it charges out to battle. 22It laughs at fear and is unafraid. It does not run from the sword. 23The arrows rattle against it, and the spear and javelin flash. 24It paws the ground fiercely and rushes forward into battle when the ram’s horn blows. 25It snorts at the sound of the horn. It senses the battle in the distance. It quivers at the captain’s commands and the noise of battle.English Standard Version
Chapter 39
20Do you make him leap like the locust? His majestic snorting is terrifying. 21He paws in the valley and exults in his strength; he goes out to meet the weapons. 22He laughs at fear and is not dismayed; he does not turn back from the sword. 23Upon him rattle the quiver, the flashing spear, and the javelin. 24With fierceness and rage he swallows the ground; he cannot stand still at the sound of the trumpet. 25When the trumpet sounds, he says ‘Aha!’ He smells the battle from afar, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. 26“Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars and spreads his wings toward the south? 27Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up and makes his nest on high? 28On the rock he dwells and makes his home, on the rocky crag and stronghold. 29From there he spies out the prey; his eyes behold it from far away.New International Version
Chapter 39
20Do you make it leap like a locust, striking terror with its proud snorting? 21It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength, and charges into the fray. 22It laughs at fear, afraid of nothing; it does not shy away from the sword. 23The quiver rattles against its side, along with the flashing spear and lance. 24In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground; it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.
25At the blast of the trumpet it snorts, 'Aha!' It catches the scent of battle from afar, the shout of commanders and the battle cry.
26Does the hawk take flight by your wisdom and spread its wings toward the south?
27Does the eagle soar at your command and build its nest on high?
28It dwells on a cliff and stays there at night; a rocky crag is its stronghold.
29From there it looks for food; its eyes detect it from afar.
