Job 39:18

Yet when she proudly spreads her wings, she laughs at the horse and its rider.

Job 39:18 · BSB

Job 39:18 in context

The verses around it, from Job 39.

14 For she leaves her eggs on the ground and lets them warm in the sand.

15 She forgets that a foot may crush them, or a wild animal may trample them.

16 She treats her young harshly, as if not her own, with no concern that her labor was in vain.

17 For God has deprived her of wisdom; He has not endowed her with understanding.

18 Yet when she proudly spreads her wings, she laughs at the horse and its rider.

19 Do you give strength to the horse or adorn his neck with a mane?

20 Do you make him leap like a locust, striking terror with his proud snorting?

21 He paws in the valley and rejoices in his strength; he charges into battle.

22 He laughs at fear, frightened of nothing; he does not turn back from the sword.
