Job  


39 : 1 Do you know the time the mountain goats give birth? Do you observe the calving of the deer?
39 : 2 Can you count the months they fulfill, Or do you know the time they give birth?
39 : 3 They kneel down, they bring forth their young, They get rid of their labor pains.
39 : 4 Their offspring become strong, they grow up in the open field; They leave and do not return to them.
39 : 5 Who sent out the wild donkey free? And who loosed the bonds of the swift donkey,
39 : 6 To whom I gave the wilderness for a home And the salt land for his dwelling place?
39 : 7 He scorns the tumult of the city, The shoutings of the driver he does not hear.
39 : 8 He explores the mountains for his pasture And searches after every green thing.
39 : 9 Will the wild ox consent to serve you, Or will he spend the night at your manger?
39 : 10 Can you bind the wild ox in a furrow with ropes, Or will he harrow the valleys after you?
39 : 11 Will you trust him because his strength is great And leave your labor to him?
39 : 12 Will you have faith in him that he will return your grain And gather it from your threshing floor?
39 : 13 The ostriches` wings flap joyously With the pinion and plumage of love,
39 : 14 For she abandons her eggs to the earth And warms them in the dust,
39 : 15 And she forgets that a foot may crush them, Or that a wild beast may trample them.
39 : 16 She treats her young cruelly, as if they were not hers; Though her labor be in vain, she is unconcerned;
39 : 17 Because God has made her forget wisdom, And has not given her a share of understanding.
39 : 18 When she lifts herself on high, She laughs at the horse and his rider.
39 : 19 Do you give the horse his might? Do you clothe his neck with a mane?
39 : 20 Do you make him leap like the locust? His majestic snorting is terrible.
39 : 21 He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength; He goes out to meet the weapons.
39 : 22 He laughs at fear and is not dismayed; And he does not turn back from the sword.
39 : 23 The quiver rattles against him, The flashing spear and javelin.
39 : 24 With shaking and rage he races over the ground, And he does not stand still at the voice of the trumpet.
39 : 25 As often as the trumpet sounds he says, `Aha!` And he scents the battle from afar, And the thunder of the captains and the war cry.
39 : 26 Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars, Stretching his wings toward the south?
39 : 27 Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up And makes his nest on high?
39 : 28 On the cliff he dwells and lodges, Upon the rocky crag, an inaccessible place.
39 : 29 From there he spies out food; His eyes see it from afar.
39 : 30 His young ones also suck up blood; And where the slain are, there is he.
