Job 39:29
27 Does the eagle soar at your command and make his nest on high?
28 He dwells on a cliff and lodges there; his stronghold is on a rocky crag.
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.
