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.

29 From there it looks for food;

its eyes detect it from afar.

30 Its young ones feast on blood,

and where the slain are, there it is.”

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.

29 From thence she seeketh the prey,

And her eyes behold afar off.

30 Her young ones also suck up blood:

And where the slain are, there is she.

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.

29 From there it hunts its prey,

keeping watch with piercing eyes.

30 Its young gulp down blood.

Where there’s a carcass, there you’ll find it.”

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.

29 From there it spies out the prey;

Its eyes observe from afar.

30 Its young ones suck up blood;

And where the slain are, there it is.”

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.

29 From there it looks for its food;

its eyes can see it from far away.

30 Its young eat blood,

and where there is something dead, the eagle is there.”

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.

29 From thence she spieth out the prey;

Her eyes behold it afar off.

30 Her young ones also suck up blood:

And where the slain are, there is she.

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: 29 From thence he spieth out the prey, his eyes look into the distance; 30 And his young ones suck up blood; and where the slain are, there is he.

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. 

29 From there it seeks food, 

and its eyes see it from far away. 

30 Its young ones feed on blood. 

It is found wherever there are dead bodies.” 

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.

29 From there it searches for prey;

its eyes penetrate the distance.

30 Its brood gulps down blood,

and where the slain are, it is there.

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.

29 From there it spies the prey;

its eyes see it from far away.

30 Its young ones suck up blood;

and where the slain are, there it is.”

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.

29 From there it spies out the prey;

its eyes look from far away.

30 And its young ones lick blood greedily,

and where the dead carcasses are, there they are.”

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.

29 From there they look for their food.

They can see it from far away.

30 Their little ones like to eat blood.

Eagles gather where they see dead bodies.”

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.

29 “From there he spies out food;

His eyes see it from afar.

30 “His young ones also suck up blood;

And where the slain are, there is he.”
