26 “Does the hawk take flight by your wisdom

and spread its wings toward the south?

27 Does the eagle soar at your command

and build its nest on high?

28 It dwells on a cliff and stays there at night;

a rocky crag is its stronghold.

26 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom,

And stretch her wings toward the south?

27 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command,

And make her nest on high?

28 She dwelleth and abideth on the rock,

Upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.

26 “Is it your wisdom that makes the hawk soar

and spread its wings toward the south?

27 Is it at your command that the eagle rises

to the heights to make its nest?

28 It lives on the cliffs,

making its home on a distant, rocky crag.

26 “Does the hawk fly by your wisdom,

And spread its wings toward the south?

27 Does the eagle mount up at your command,

And make its nest on high?

28 On the rock it dwells and resides,

On the crag of the rock and the stronghold.

26 “Is it through your wisdom that the hawk flies

and spreads its wings toward the south?

27 Are you the one that commands the eagle to fly

and build its nest so high?

28 It lives on a high cliff and stays there at night;

the rocky peak is its protected place.

26 Is it by thy wisdom that the hawk soareth,

And stretcheth her wings toward the south?

27 Is it at thy command that the eagle mounteth up,

And maketh her nest on high?

28 On the cliff she dwelleth, and maketh her home,

Upon the point of the cliff, and the stronghold.

26 Doth the hawk fly by thine intelligence, and stretch his wings toward the south? 27 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make his nest on high? 28 He inhabiteth the rock and maketh his dwelling on the point of the cliff, and the fastness:

26 “Does your understanding make a bird of prey fly 

and spread its wings toward the south? 

27 Is it by your order that the eagle flies high 

and makes its nest on the heights? 

28 It perches for the night on a cliff. 

Its fortress is on a jagged peak. 

26 Does the hawk take flight by your understanding

and spread its wings to the south?

27 Does the eagle soar at your command

and make its nest on high?

28 It lives on a cliff where it spends the night;

its stronghold is on a rocky crag.

26 “Is it by your wisdom that the hawk soars,

and spreads its wings toward the south?

27 Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up

and makes its nest on high?

28 It lives on the rock and makes its home

in the fastness of the rocky crag.

26 “Does the hawk soar by your wisdom?

Does it spread its wings to the south?

27 Or does the eagle fly high at your command

and construct its nest high?

28 It lives on the rock and spends the night

on the rock point and the mountain stronghold.

26 “Job, are you wise enough to teach hawks where to fly?

They spread their wings and fly toward the south.

27 Do you command eagles to fly so high?

They build their nests as high as they can.

28 They live on cliffs and stay there at night.

High up on the rocks they think they are safe.

26 “Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars,

Stretching his 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 lodges,

Upon the rocky crag, an inaccessible place.
