Job's Third Speech: A Response To Bildad

²⁵ “Now my days are swifter than a runner;
They flee away, they see no good.

Like an eagle that swoops on its prey.
²⁷ “Though I say, ‘I will forget my complaint,
I will leave off my sad countenance and be cheerful,’

They fly like an eagle swooping down to devour.

To a people feared far and wide,
A powerful and oppressive nation
Whose land the rivers divide.

They were stronger than lions.

Like an eagle that flies toward the heavens.

Than the eagles of the sky;
They chased us on the mountains,
They waited in ambush for us in the wilderness.
