Job 20:6

20:6 Even though his stature ¹  reaches to the heavens

and his head touches the clouds,

Job 39:27

39:27 Is it at your command ²  that the eagle soars,

and builds its nest on high?

[20:6]  ¹ tn The word שִׂיא (si’) has been connected with the verb נָשָׂא (nasa’, “to lift up”), and so interpreted here as “pride.” The form is parallel to “head” in the next part, and so here it refers to his stature, the part that rises up and is crowned. But the verse does describe the pride of such a person, with his head in the heavens.

[39:27]  ² tn Heb “your mouth.”
