←Prev   Job 39 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


39:1  Know you the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or can you mark when the hinds do calve?
39:2  Can you number the months that they fulfill? or know you the time when they bring forth?
39:3  They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.
39:4  Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not to them.
39:5  Who has sent out the wild ass free? or who has loosed the bands of the wild ass?
39:6  Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.
39:7  He scorns the multitude of the city, neither regards he the crying of the driver.
39:8  The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searches after every green thing.
39:9  Will the unicorn be willing to serve you, or abide by your crib?
39:10  Can you bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after you?
39:11  Will you trust him, because his strength is great? or will you leave your labor to him?
39:12  Will you believe him, that he will bring home your seed, and gather it into your barn?
39:13  Gave you the goodly wings to the peacocks? or wings and feathers to the ostrich?
39:14  Which leaves her eggs in the earth, and warms them in dust,
39:15  And forgets that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
39:16  She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not her's: her labor is in vain without fear;
39:17  Because God has deprived her of wisdom, neither has he imparted to her understanding.
39:18  What time she lifts up herself on high, she scorns the horse and his rider.
39:19  Have you given the horse strength? have you clothed his neck with thunder?
39:20  Can you make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
39:21  He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength: he goes on to meet the armed men.
39:22  He mocks at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turns he back from the sword.
39:23  The quiver rattles against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
39:24  He swallows the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believes he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
39:25  He said among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smells the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
39:26  Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?
39:27  Does the eagle mount up at your command, and make her nest on high?
39:28  She dwells and stays on the rock, on the crag of the rock, and the strong place.
39:29  From there she seeks the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.
39:30  Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.
