Job 39:23-25
The Message
Job 39:23-25
The Message
19-25 “Are you the one who gave the horse his prowess
and adorned him with a shimmering mane?
Did you create him to prance proudly
and strike terror with his royal snorts?
He paws the ground fiercely, eager and spirited,
then charges into the fray.
He laughs at danger, fearless,
doesn’t shy away from the sword.
The banging and clanging
of quiver and lance don’t faze him.
He quivers with excitement, and at the trumpet blast
races off at a gallop.
At the sound of the trumpet he neighs mightily,
smelling the excitement of battle from a long way off,
catching the rolling thunder of the war cries.
Job 39:23-25
New International Version
Job 39:23-25
New International Version
23 The quiver(A) rattles against its side,
along with the flashing spear(B) and lance.
24 In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground;
it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.(C)
25 At the blast of the trumpet(D) it snorts, ‘Aha!’
It catches the scent of battle from afar,
the shout of commanders and the battle cry.(E)
The Message (MSG)
