Job 39:25 in other translations
He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
At the blast of the horn, he snorts with fervor. He catches the scent of battle from afar— the shouts of captains and the cry of war.
As often as the trumpet sounds he snorts, ‘Aha!’ He smells the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

In context
22 In his strength he goes out against the arms of war, turning not away from the sword.
23 The bow is sounding against him; he sees the shining point of spear and arrow.
24 Shaking with passion, he is biting the earth; he is not able to keep quiet at the sound of the horn;
25 When it comes to his ears he says, Aha! He is smelling the fight from far off, and hearing the thunder of the captains, and the war-cries.
26 Is it through your knowledge that the hawk takes his flight, stretching out his wings to the south?
27 Or is it by your orders that the eagle goes up, and makes his resting-place on high?
28 On the rock is his house, and on the mountain-top his strong place.
