18:039:014 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,
18:039:015 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
18:039:016 She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not her's: her labour is in vain without fear;
18:039:017 Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
18:039:018 What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
18:039:019 Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
18:039:020 Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
18:039:021 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.
18:039:022 He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.
18:039:023 The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
18:039:024 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
18:039:025 He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
18:039:026 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?
18:039:027 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?
18:039:028 She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.
18:039:029 From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.
18:039:030 Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.
18:040:001 Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,
18:040:002 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
18:040:003 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
18:040:004 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
18:040:005 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
18:040:006 Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
18:040:007 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
18:040:008 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
18:040:009 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
18:040:010 Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.
18:040:011 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.
