Job 39:26–40:5

²⁶Doth the ^ehawk ^ffly by thy wisdom,

And stretch her wings toward the south?

²⁷Doth the eagle mount up ^†at thy command,

And make her ^gnest on high?

²⁸She dwelleth and ^habideth on the rock,

Upon the ⁱcrag of the rock, and the ^hstrong place.

²⁹From thence she ^jseeketh the prey,

And her eyes behold afar off.

³⁰Her young ones also suck up blood:

And ^kwhere the slain are, there is she.

40Moreover the Lord ^aanswered Job, and said,

²Shall he that ^bcontendeth with the Almighty instruct him?

He that reproveth God, let him answer it.

³Then Job answered the Lord, and said,

⁴Behold, ^cI am vile; what shall I answer thee?

^dI will lay mine hand upon my mouth.

^5eOnce have I spoken; but I will not answer:

Yea, ^etwice; but I will proceed no further.
