Job 39:26-30
Job 39:26-30 New International Version (NIV)
“Does the hawk take flight by your wisdom and spread its wings toward the south? Does the eagle soar at your command and build its nest on high? It dwells on a cliff and stays there at night; a rocky crag is its stronghold. From there it looks for food; its eyes detect it from afar. Its young ones feast on blood, and where the slain are, there it is.”
Job 39:26-30 The Message (MSG)
“Was it through your know-how that the hawk learned to fly, soaring effortlessly on thermal updrafts? Did you command the eagle’s flight, and teach her to build her nest in the heights, Perfectly at home on the high cliff face, invulnerable on pinnacle and crag? From her perch she searches for prey, spies it at a great distance. Her young gorge themselves on carrion; wherever there’s a roadkill, you’ll see her circling.”
Job 39:26-30 King James Version (KJV)
Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, And stretch her wings toward the south? Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, And make her nest on high? She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, Upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place. From thence she seeketh the prey, And her eyes behold afar off. Her young ones also suck up blood: And where the slain are, there is she.
Job 39:26-30 New American Standard Bible - NASB 1995 (NASB1995)
“Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars, Stretching his wings toward the south? Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up And makes his nest on high? On the cliff he dwells and lodges, Upon the rocky crag, an inaccessible place. From there he spies out food; His eyes see it from afar. His young ones also suck up blood; And where the slain are, there is he.”
Job 39:26-30 New Century Version (NCV)
“Is it through your wisdom that the hawk flies and spreads its wings toward the south? Are you the one that commands the eagle to fly and build its nest so high? It lives on a high cliff and stays there at night; the rocky peak is its protected place. From there it looks for its food; its eyes can see it from far away. Its young eat blood, and where there is something dead, the eagle is there.”
Job 39:26-30 American Standard Version (ASV)
Is it by thy wisdom that the hawk soareth, And stretcheth her wings toward the south? Is it at thy command that the eagle mounteth up, And maketh her nest on high? On the cliff she dwelleth, and maketh her home, Upon the point of the cliff, and the stronghold. From thence she spieth out the prey; Her eyes behold it afar off. Her young ones also suck up blood: And where the slain are, there is she.
Job 39:26-30 New King James Version (NKJV)
“Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, And spread its wings toward the south? Does the eagle mount up at your command, And make its nest on high? On the rock it dwells and resides, On the crag of the rock and the stronghold. From there it spies out the prey; Its eyes observe from afar. Its young ones suck up blood; And where the slain are, there it is.”
Job 39:26-30 Amplified Bible (AMP)
¶“Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars, Stretching his wings toward the south [as winter approaches]? “Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up And makes his nest on high [in an inaccessible place]? “On the cliff he dwells and remains [securely], Upon the point of the rock and the inaccessible stronghold. “From there he spies out the prey; His eyes see it from far away. “His young ones suck up blood; And where the slain are, there is he.”
Job 39:26-30 New Living Translation (NLT)
“Is it your wisdom that makes the hawk soar and spread its wings toward the south? Is it at your command that the eagle rises to the heights to make its nest? It lives on the cliffs, making its home on a distant, rocky crag. From there it hunts its prey, keeping watch with piercing eyes. Its young gulp down blood. Where there’s a carcass, there you’ll find it.”
Job 39:26-30 English Standard Version 2016 (ESV)
“Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars and spreads his wings toward the south? Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up and makes his nest on high? On the rock he dwells and makes his home, on the rocky crag and stronghold. From there he spies out the prey; his eyes behold it from far away. His young ones suck up blood, and where the slain are, there is he.”
