Job 39:28
26 Does the hawk take flight by your understanding and spread his wings toward the south?
27 Does the eagle soar at your command and make his nest on high?
He dwells on a cliff and lodges there; his stronghold is on a rocky crag.
29 From there he spies out food; his eyes see it from afar.
30 His young ones feast on blood; and where the slain are, there he is.”
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
