9נוֹתֵן לִבְהֵמָה לַחְמָהּ לִבְנֵי עֹרֵב אֲשֶׁר יִקְרָֽאוּwho gives the beasts their food, to the raven’s brood what they cry for.

10לֹא בִגְבוּרַת הַסּוּס יֶחְפָּץ לֹא־בְשׁוֹקֵי הָאִישׁ יִרְצֶֽה[God] does not prize the strength of horses, nor value the warrior’s fleetness;

18יִשְׁלַח דְּבָרוֹ וְיַמְסֵם יַשֵּׁב רוּחוֹ יִזְּלוּ־מָֽיִם[God] issues a command—it melts them; breathes, and the waters flow.
