September 26 - Job 39.19-40.2

Did You Give Horses Their Strength?

19Did you give horses their strength
and the flowing hair along their necks?
20Did you make them able to jump like grasshoppers
or to frighten people with their snorting?

21Before horses are ridden into battle,
they paw at the ground, proud of their strength.
22Laughing at fear, they rush toward the fighting,
23while the weapons of their riders
rattle and flash in the sun.
24Unable to stand still, they gallop eagerly into battle
when trumpets blast.
25Stirred by the distant smells and sounds of war,
they snort in reply to the trumpet.

26Did you teach hawks to fly south for the winter?
*27Did you train eagles to build 28their nests on rocky cliffs,
29where they can look down to spot their next meal?
30Then their young gather to feast wherever the victim lies.

The LORD Continues

I Am the LORD All-Powerful

Job 40 *1I am the LORD All-Powerful,
2but you have argued that I am wrong.
Now you must answer me.
