Job 39:20

Verse 20 of 30. The 39th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.

16She deals harshly with her young ones, as if they were not hers. Though her labor is in vain, she is without fear,

17because God has deprived her of wisdom, neither has he imparted to her understanding.

18When she lifts up herself on high, she scorns the horse and his rider.

19“Have you given the horse might? Have you clothed his neck with a quivering mane?

20Have you made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his snorting is awesome.

21He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength. He goes out to meet the armed men.

22He mocks at fear, and is not dismayed, neither does he turn back from the sword.

23The quiver rattles against him, the flashing spear and the javelin.

24He eats up the ground with fierceness and rage, neither does he stand still at the sound of the trumpet.
