Job 39:24-30
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 39
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. 30His young ones also lick up blood greedily; And where the slain are, there he is.'King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
25When the trumpet 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.
30Its brood gulps down blood, and where the slain are, it is there.
New Living Translation
Chapter 39
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.
26'Is it your wisdom that makes the hawk soar and spread its wings toward the south?
27Is it at your command that the eagle rises to the heights to make its nest?
28It lives on the cliffs, making its home on a distant, rocky crag.
29From there it hunts its prey, keeping watch with piercing eyes.
30Its young gulp down blood. Where there’s a carcass, there you’ll find it.'
English Standard Version
Chapter 39
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. 30His young ones suck up blood, and where the slain are, there is he."New International Version
Chapter 39
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.
26"Does 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.
30Its young ones feast on blood, and where the slain are, there it is."
New King James Version
