"Shaking with passion, he is biting the earth; he is not able to keep quiet at the sound of the horn;"
— Job 39:24, Bible in Basic English
“Chasing and raging he swalloweth the ground, neither doth he make account when the noise of the trumpet soundeth.”
He is stamping with joy in the valley; he makes sport of fear.
In his strength he goes out against the arms of war, turning not away from the sword.
The bow is sounding against him; he sees the shining point of spear and arrow.
Shaking with passion, he is biting the earth; he is not able to keep quiet at the sound of the horn;
When it comes to his ears he says, Aha! He is smelling the fight from far off, and hearing the thunder of the captains, and the war-cries.
Is it through your knowledge that the hawk takes his flight, stretching out his wings to the south?
Or is it by your orders that the eagle goes up, and makes his resting-place on high?
