God Speaks of Nature and Its Beings

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:1 -

“Do you know the time when the wild goats of the rock give birth [to their young]?

Do you observe the calving of the deer?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:2 -

“Can you count the months that they [fn]carry offspring,

Or do you know the time when they give birth?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:3 -

“They kneel down, they bring forth their young,

They cast out their labor pains.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:4 -

“Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field;

They leave and do not return to them.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:5 -

“Who sent out the wild donkey free [from dependence on man]?

And who has loosed the bonds of the wild donkey [to survive in the wild],

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:6 -

To whom I gave the wilderness as his home

And the salt land as his dwelling place?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:7 -

“He scorns the tumult of the city,

And does not hear the shouting of the taskmaster.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:8 -

“He explores the mountains as his pasture

And searches after every green thing.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:9 -

“Will the wild ox be willing to serve you,

Or remain beside your manger at night?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:10 -

“Can you bind the wild ox with a harness [to the plow] in the furrow?

Or will he plow the valleys for you?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:11 -

“Will you trust him because his strength is great

And leave your labor to him?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:12 -

“Will you have faith and depend on him to return your grain

And gather it from your threshing floor?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:13 -

“The [flightless] wings of the ostrich wave joyously;

With the pinion (shackles, fetters) and plumage of love,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:14 -

For she leaves her eggs on the ground

And warms them in the dust,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:15 -

Forgetting that a foot may crush them,

Or that the wild beast may trample them.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:16 -

“She treats her young cruelly, as if they were not hers;

Though her labor is in vain because she is unconcerned [for the safety of her brood],

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:17 -

For God has made her forget wisdom,

And has not given her a share of understanding.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:18 -

“Yet when she lifts herself [fn]on high,

[So swift is she that] she laughs at the horse and his rider.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:19 -

“Have you given the horse his might?

Have you clothed his neck with quivering and a shaking mane?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:20 -

“Have you [Job] made him leap like a locust?

The majesty of his snorting [nostrils] is terrible.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:21 -

“He paws in the valley and rejoices in his strength;

He goes out to meet the weapons [of armed men].

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:22 -

“He laughs at fear and is not dismayed;

And [in battle] he does not turn back from the sword.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:23 -

“The quiver rattles against him,

[As do] the flashing spear and the lance [of his rider].

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:24 -

“With fierceness and rage he races to devour the ground,

And he does not stand still at the sound of the [war] trumpet.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:25 -

“As often as the trumpet sounds he says, ‘Aha!’

And he smells the battle from far away,

And senses the thunder of the captains and the war cry.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:26 -

“Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars,

Stretching his wings toward the south [as winter approaches]?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:27 -

“Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up

And makes his nest on high [in an inaccessible place]?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:28 -

“On the cliff he dwells and remains [securely],

Upon the point of the rock and the inaccessible stronghold.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:29 -

“From there he spies out the prey;

His eyes see it from far away.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:30 -

“His young ones suck up blood;

And where the slain are, there is he.”
