Job 39:26-40:5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
26 “Is it by your wisdom that the hawk soars
and spreads its wings toward the south?
27 Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up
and makes its nest on high?(A)
28 It lives on the rock and makes its home
in the fastness of the rocky crag.
29 From there it spies the prey;
its eyes see it from far away.(B)
30 Its young ones suck up blood,
and where the slain are, there it is.”(C)
40 And the Lord said to Job:
Job’s Response to God
3 Then Job answered the Lord:
4 “See, I am of small account; what shall I answer you?
I lay my hand on my mouth.(E)
5 I have spoken once, and I will not answer,
twice but will proceed no further.”(F)
