Connecting Statement:
Yahweh continues to challenge Job.
Is it at your orders ... nest in high places?
Yahweh uses this question to prove that Job is not powerful enough to command the eagles. The implicit answer to this question is "no." AT: "You are not able to command the eagle to mount up and build his nest in high places." (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion)
at your orders
The abstract noun "orders" can be stated as a verb. AT: "because you tell it to do so" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-abstractnouns)
mounts up
This means he flies upward. AT: "flies up into the sky" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom)
a stronghold
The high cliffs are strongholds for eagles because the animals that would want to eat them cannot reach them.
