Job 39:26-28 New English Translation
26 “Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars,[a]
and spreads its wings toward the south?
27 Is it at your command[b] that the eagle soars,
and builds its nest on high?
28 It lives on a rock and spends the night there,
on a rocky crag[c] and a fortress.[d]
Footnotes
- Job 39:26 tn This word occurs only here. It is connected to “pinions” in v. 13. Dhorme suggests “clad with feathers,” but the line suggests more the use of the wings.
- Job 39:27 tn Heb “your mouth.”
- Job 39:28 tn Heb “upon the tooth of a rock.”
- Job 39:28 tn The word could be taken as the predicate, but because of the conjunction it seems to be adding another description of the place of its nest.
