New International Version
26 “Does the hawk take flight by your wisdom
and spread its wings toward the south?(A)
27 Does the eagle soar at your command
and build its nest on high?(B)
28 It dwells on a cliff and stays there at night;
a rocky crag(C) is its stronghold.
29 From there it looks for food;(D)
its eyes detect it from afar.
30 Its young ones feast on blood,
and where the slain are, there it is.”(E)
Job 39:13-18
New International Version
13 “The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully,
though they cannot compare
with the wings and feathers of the stork.(A)
14 She lays her eggs on the ground
and lets them warm in the sand,
15 unmindful that a foot may crush them,
that some wild animal may trample them.(B)
16 She treats her young harshly,(C) as if they were not hers;
she cares not that her labor was in vain,
17 for God did not endow her with wisdom
or give her a share of good sense.(D)
18 Yet when she spreads her feathers to run,
she laughs(E) at horse and rider.
Job 38:41
