Job 39:21 (KJV)
Commentary on Job 39:21
"He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men." The war-horse yachperu (יַחְפְּרוּ, "paws/digs") eagerly, rejoicing (yasis, יָשִׂישׂ) in strength, charging toward armed enemies. God designed this creature to delight in what would terrify others. This teaches that God creates diverse temperaments and callings—some for peace, others for battle. The horse isn't corrupted by loving combat; it fulfills its design. Not everyone is called to the same peaceful pursuits.
