26 “Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars,
Stretching his wings toward the south?
27 Is it at your [a]command that the eagle flies high,
And makes (A)his nest on high?
28 He dwells and spends his nights on the cliff,
On the rocky cliff, an inaccessible place.
29 From there he (B)tracks food;
His eyes look at it from afar.
30 His young ones also lick up blood greedily;
And (C)where the slain are, there he is.”

    and where the slain are, there it is.”(E)
