Job 39:27-30

39:27 Is it at your command that the eagle soars,

and builds its nest on high?

39:28 It lives on a rock and spends the night there,

on a rocky crag and a fortress.

39:29 From there it spots its prey,

its eyes gaze intently from a distance.

39:30 And its young ones devour the blood,

and where the dead carcasses are,

there it is.”

Job 39:2

39:2 Do you count the months they must fulfill,

and do you know the time they give birth?

they ambushed us in the wilderness.

their horses come a great distance;

like a vulture they swoop down quickly to devour their prey.
