your seed home , and gather it to your threshing-floor?

39:14 Which leaves her eggs on the earth, and warms them in dust,

39:26 Does the hawk fly by your understanding, and stretch her wings toward the south?
39:27 Does the eagle mount up at your command, and make her nest on high?

39:29 From there she searches for food, and her eyes see from a distance.
39:30 Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, she is there.
