26 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?

27 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?

28 She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.

29 From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.

30 Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.

26 “Is it by your wisdom that the hawk soars,
    and stretches her 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 makes his home,
    on the point of the cliff, and the stronghold.
29 From there he spies out the prey.
    His eyes see it afar off.
30 His young ones also suck up blood.
    Where the slain are, there he is.”

The Birds of Prey

26 “Does your understanding make a bird of prey fly
    and spread its wings toward the south?
27 Is it by your order that the eagle flies high
    and makes its nest on the heights?
28 It perches for the night on a cliff.
    Its fortress is on a jagged peak.
29 From there it seeks food,
    and its eyes see it from far away.
30 Its young ones feed on blood.
    It is found wherever there are dead bodies.”
