Job 39:19-25

^{Tools
19}

Do you give strength to the horse?
Do you adorn his neck with a mane?^(a)

^{Tools
20}

Do you make him leap like a locust?
His proud snorting fills one with terror.

^{Tools
21}

He paws^(b) in the valley and rejoices in his strength;
He charges into battle.^(c)

^{Tools
22}

He laughs at fear, since he is afraid of nothing;
he does not run from the sword.

^{Tools
23}

A quiver rattles at his side,
along with a flashing spear and a lance.^(d)

^{Tools
24}

He charges ahead^(e) with trembling rage;
he cannot stand still at the trumpet’s sound.

^{Tools
25}

When the trumpet blasts, he snorts defiantly.^(f)
He smells the battle from a distance;
he hears the officers’ shouts and the battle cry.
