“Is it by your wisdom that the hawk soars,
and stretches her wings toward the south?
THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Job 39:26 in context
Job 39:23–29
23
The quiver rattles against him,
the flashing spear and the javelin.
24
He eats up the ground with fierceness and rage,
neither does he stand still at the sound of the trumpet.
25
As often as the trumpet sounds he snorts, ‘Aha!’
He smells the battle afar off,
the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
26
Selected verse
“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.
