Job 39:20 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 39:20
"Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible." The war-horse's nostril-flaring and aggressive spirit inspire terror. The Hebrew nechir apo (נַחַר אַפּוֹ, "snorting of his nostrils") suggests fearsome power. God designed some creatures for battle—not peaceful purposes. This demonstrates that strength, aggression, and even capacity for violence have legitimate places in God's design when properly directed. Not everything must be tame and gentle; righteous purposes sometimes require fierce strength.
