Job 39:20 Context

◄ Job 39:20 ►

Do you make him leap like a locust, striking terror with his proud snorting?

Context

20“Do you make him leap like the locust?
His majestic snorting is terrible.

21“He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength;
He goes out to meet the weapons.

22“He laughs at fear and is not dismayed;
And he does not turn back from the sword.

23“The quiver rattles against him,
The flashing spear and javelin.

24“With shaking and rage he races over the ground,
And he does not stand still at the voice of the trumpet.

25“As often as the trumpet sounds he says, ‘Aha!’
And he scents 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?

27“Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up
And makes his nest on high?

28“On the cliff he dwells and lodges,
Upon the rocky crag, an inaccessible place.

29“From there he spies out food;
His eyes see it from afar.

30“His young ones also suck up blood;
And where the slain are, there is he.”
