New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
19 “Do you give the horse its might?
Do you clothe its neck with mane?(A)
20 Do you make it leap like the locust?
Its majestic snorting is terrible.(B)
21 It paws[a] violently, exults mightily;
it goes out to meet the weapons.(C)
22 It laughs at fear and is not dismayed;
it does not turn back from the sword.
23 Upon it rattle the quiver,
the flashing spear, and the javelin.
24 With fierceness and rage it swallows the ground;
it cannot stand still at the sound of the trumpet.(D)
25 When the trumpet sounds, it says ‘Aha!’
From a distance it smells the battle,
the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.(E)
