Job 39:26–40:5

²⁶“Is it through your wisdom that the hawk flies

and spreads its wings toward the south?

²⁷Are you the one that commands the eagle to fly

and build its nest so high?

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

the rocky peak is its protected place.

²⁹From there it looks for its food;

its eyes can see it from far away.

³⁰Its young eat blood,

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

40The Lord said to Job:

²“Will the person who argues with the Almighty correct him?

Let the person who accuses God answer him.”

³Then Job answered the Lord:

⁴“I am not worthy; I cannot answer you anything,

so I will put my hand over my mouth.

⁵I spoke one time, but I will not answer again;

I even spoke two times, but I will say nothing more.”
