Holman Christian Standard Bible

Job 39:20-30 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

20. Do you make him leap like a locust?His proud snorting fills one with terror.

21. He paws in the valley and rejoices in his strength;He charges into battle.

22. He laughs at fear, since he is afraid of nothing;he does not run from the sword.

23. A quiver rattles at his side,along with a flashing spear and a lance.

24. He charges ahead with trembling rage;he cannot stand still at the trumpet’s sound.

25. When the trumpet blasts, he snorts defiantly. He smells the battle from a distance;he hears the officers’ shouts and the battle cry.

26. Does the hawk take flight by your understandingand spread its wings to the south?

27. Does the eagle soar at your commandand make its nest on high?

28. It lives on a cliff where it spends the night;its stronghold is on a rocky crag.

29. From there it searches for prey; its eyes penetrate the distance.

30. Its brood gulps down blood,and where the slain are, it is there.
