Job 39:18 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

She lifteth up herself on high, to flee from her pursuer; to which end she lifteth up her head and body, and spreads her wings. She scorneth the horse and his rider she despiseth them in regard of her greater swiftness; for though she cannot fly because of her great bulk, being said to be as big as a new-born camel, yet by the aid of her wings she runs so fast that horsemen cannot reach her, as both Greek and other authors have noted.

Job 39:18

18 What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
