Job

Job 39:26–30

²⁶Does the hawk take flight by your understanding

and spread his wings toward the south?

²⁷Does the eagle soar at your command

and make his nest on high?

²⁸He dwells on a cliff and lodges there;

his stronghold is on a rocky crag.

²⁹From there he spies out food;

his eyes see it from afar.

³⁰His young ones feast on blood;

and where the slain are, there he is.”
