Job IXL

19 Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?

20 Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.

21 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: H goeth on to meet the armed men.

22 He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.

23 The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.

24 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.

25 He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

German translation:

24 Es zittert und tobt, und scharrt in die Erde, und lässt sich nicht halten bei der Drommete Hall.

25 So oft die Drommete klingt, spricht es: Hui! und wittert den Streit von ferne, das Schreien der Fürsten und Jauchzen.

French translation:

24 Il creuse le sol et se réjouit de sa force, Il s'élance au-devant des armes;

25 Il se rit de la crainte, il n'a pas peur, Il ne recule pas en face de l'épée.
