Job 39:27-30 NWT
. . .Or is it at your order that an eagle flies upward And that it builds its nest high up, 28 That on a crag it resides and stays during the night Upon the tooth of a crag and an inaccessible place? 29 From there it has to search for food; Far into the distance its eyes keep looking. 30 And its young ones themselves keep sipping up blood; And where the slain are, there it is.. . .

Job 39:27-30 BBE
(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. (29) From there he is watching for food; his eye sees it far off. (30) His young have blood for their drink, and where the dead bodies are, there is he to be seen.

Job 39:27-30 MKJV
(27) Does the eagle mount up at your command and make his nest on high? (28) He lives and stays on the rock, on the crag of the rock and the strong place. (29) From there he seeks food, and his eyes see afar off. (30) And his young brood also sucks up blood; and where the dead are, there he is.

You will note the reference windows often include more than one translation of the Bible. The reason is to strive to gain the best possible understanding of the original Hebrew and Greek. Since we don't speak those languages, we rely on those who have come before and made the effort to translate those texts into English for us. Considering several translations gives the benefit of the understanding of several translation committees or individuals.
