Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Job 39:29
Job 39:29. Her eyes behold afar off— Dr. Young paraphrases this well: Thence [from the rock] wide o'er nature takes her dread survey, And, with a glance predestinates her prey. And he observes, that the eagle is said to be of so acute a sight, that when she is so high in the air that man cannot see her, she can discern the smallest fish under water. The author of this book accurately understood the nature of the creatures which he describes, and seems to have been as great a naturalist as a... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Job 39:1-30
Job 39:1 If the baffled inquirer drops out the search after God, as many do, and says I will go down to nature and it shall, at least, be my comfort that nature is intelligible, and even a subject of definite science, he shortly discovers that science only changes the place of mystery and leaves it unresolved....

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Job 39:1-30

It seems rather of a hyperbolical kind, suggesting... read more
