Contextual Overview
19 Do you give strength to the horse? is it by your hand that his neck is clothed with power? 20 Is it through you that he is shaking like a locust, in the pride of his loud-sounding breath? 21 He is stamping with joy in the valley; he makes sport of fear. 22 In his strength he goes out against the arms of war, turning not away from the sword. 23 The bow is sounding against him; he sees the shining point of spear and arrow. 24 Shaking with passion, he is biting the earth; he is not able to keep quiet at the sound of the horn; 25 When it comes to his ears he says, Aha! He is smelling the fight from far off, and hearing the thunder of the captains, and the war-cries.
