Job 39:23
21 He paws in the valley and rejoices in his strength; he charges into battle.
22 He laughs at fear, frightened of nothing; he does not turn back from the sword.
A quiver rattles at his side, along with a flashing spear and lance.
24 Trembling with excitement, he devours the distance; he cannot stand still when the ram’s horn sounds.
25 At the blast of the horn, he snorts with fervor. He catches the scent of battle from afar— the shouts of captains and the cry of war.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
