Job

Job 39:21–24

²¹He paws in the valley and rejoices in his strength;

he charges into battle.

²²He laughs at fear, frightened of nothing;

he does not turn back from the sword.

²³A quiver rattles at his side,

along with a flashing spear and lance.^b

²⁴Trembling with excitement, he devours the distance;

he cannot stand still when the ram’s horn sounds.
