Job 39:19-25
Christian Standard Bible
19 Do you give strength to the horse?
Do you adorn his neck with a mane?[a]
20 Do you make him leap like a locust?
His proud snorting fills one with terror.
21 He paws[b] in the valley and rejoices in his strength;
he charges into battle.[c]
22 He laughs at fear, since he is afraid of nothing;
he does not run from the sword.
23 A quiver rattles at his side,
along with a flashing spear and a javelin.
24 He charges ahead[d] with trembling rage;
he cannot stand still at the sound of the ram’s horn.
25 When the ram’s horn blasts, he snorts defiantly.[e]
He smells the battle from a distance;
he hears the officers’ shouts and the battle cry.

Job 39:19-25
New International Version
19 “Do you give the horse its strength(A)
or clothe its neck with a flowing mane?
20 Do you make it leap like a locust,(B)
striking terror(C) with its proud snorting?(D)
21 It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength,(E)
and charges into the fray.(F)
22 It laughs(G) at fear, afraid of nothing;
it does not shy away from the sword.
23 The quiver(H) rattles against its side,
along with the flashing spear(I) and lance.
24 In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground;
it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.(J)
25 At the blast of the trumpet(K) it snorts, ‘Aha!’
It catches the scent of battle from afar,
the shout of commanders and the battle cry.(L)

Job 39:19-25
King James Version
19 Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
20 Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
21 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.
22 He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.
23 The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
24 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
25 He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
