His majestic snorting is terrible. 39:21 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in [his] strength; he goeth forth to meet the armed host. 39:22 He laugheth at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from before the sword. 39:23 The quiver rattleth upon him, the glittering spear and the javelin. 39:24 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage, and cannot contain himself at the sound of the trumpet: 39:25 At the noise of the trumpets he saith, Aha! and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. 39:26 Doth the hawk fly by thine intelligence, [and] stretch his wings toward the south? 39:27 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make his nest on high? 39:28 He inhabiteth the rock and maketh his dwelling on the point of the cliff, and the fastness: 39:29 From thence he spieth out the prey, his eyes look into the distance; 39:30 And his young ones suck up blood; and where the slain are, there is he.
