God challenges Job by pointing to the hawk's flight. Commentators note that its incredible speed and agility are not products of human wisdom but of divine design. The ability of a hawk to fly with such power is a clear, observable testament to the Creator's unmatched skill, far beyond human understanding or ability to replicate.
