Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:1 -

“Do you know the time the [fn]mountain goats give birth?

Do you keep watch over the calving of the deer?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:2 -

“Can you count the months they fulfill,

Or do you know the time they give birth?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:3 -

“They kneel down; they bring forth their young;

They send out their labor pains.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:4 -

“Their children 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?

And who loosed the bonds of the swift donkey,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:6 -

For whom I have set the desert plain as a home

And the salt land as his dwelling place?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:7 -

“He laughs at the tumult of the city;

The shoutings of the driver he does not hear.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:8 -

“He explores the mountains for his pasture

And searches after every green thing.

“Will the wild ox consent to serve you,

Or will he spend the night at your manger?

Or will he harrow the valleys after you?

“Will you trust him because his power is great

And leave your labor to him?

“The ostriches’ wings flap joyously

But are they the pinion and plumage of a [fn]stork?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:14 -

For she leaves her eggs to the earth

And warms them in the dust,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:15 -

And she forgets that a foot may crush [fn]them,

Or that a beast of the field may trample [fn]them.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:16 -

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

Though her labor be empty, she is without dread,

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:17 -

Because God has made her forget wisdom,

And has not given her a share of understanding.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:18 -

“When she raises herself up high,

She laughs at the horse and his rider.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:19 -

“Do you give the horse his might?

Do you clothe his neck with a mane?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:20 -

“Do you make him leap like the locust?

His splendid snorting is terrible.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:21 -

[fn]He paws in the valley and rejoices in his power;

He goes out to meet the weapons.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:22 -

“He laughs at dread and is not dismayed;

And he does not turn back from the sword.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:23 -

“The quiver rattles against him,

The flashing spear and javelin.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:24 -

“With shaking and rage he [fn]races over the ground,

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

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:25 -

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

And he scents the battle from afar,

And the thunder of the commanders and the shout of war.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:26 -

“Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars,

Stretching his wings toward the south?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:27 -

“Is it at your [fn]command that the eagle goes on high

And raises his nest high?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:28 -

“On the cliff he dwells and lodges,

Upon the rocky crag, a fortress.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:29 -

“From there he [fn]spies out food;

His eyes see it from afar.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:30 -

“His young ones also suck up blood;

And where the slain are, there is he.”
