Here we have hawks and eagles. The annual migration of the hawk toward the south occurred without Job's input or wisdom. On the other hand the eagle builds its nest high in the mountains from where it scans the horizon for prey. "Devouring carcasses and sucking blood may suggest that this bird is the griffon-vulture rather than the eagle" (Bible Knowledge Comm. p. 769). Jackson notes that even modern scientists admit that in the final analysis, birds follow. far more ancient guidance system, an instinct acquired in the egg. Yet from whom did they acquire this "instinct"? Jackson rightly notes that "instinct" is often. word that man uses to cover his own ignorance. The truth of the matter is that such instinct came from God! Such birds have been seen at heights of 10,000 feet and they can spot prey from three miles away. Did Job have anything to do with this?
