Job39:18
18. Notwithstanding her deficiencies, she has distinguishing excellences.
lifteth ... herself--for running; she cannot mount in the air. Gesenius translates: "lashes herself" up to her course by flapping her wings. The old versions favor English Version, and the parallel "scorneth" answers to her proudly "lifting up herself."
