←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 offspring.
39:4  Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open; they go forth, and return not unto them.
39:5  Who has let the wild donkey go free? or who has loosed the bonds of the wild donkey?
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 shouts of the driver.
39:8  The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searches after every green thing.
39:9  Will the wild ox be willing to serve you, or abide by your crib?
39:10  Can you bind the wild ox with ropes in the furrow? or will he plow the valleys behind 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 grain, and gather it into your barn?
39:13  Gave you the proud wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto 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 a wild beast may break them.
39:16  She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labor is in vain without concern;
39:17  Because God has deprived her of wisdom, neither has he imparted to her understanding.
39:18  When she lifts up herself 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 like a grasshopper? the majesty of his snorting is terrible.
39:21  He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength: he goes out to meet the armed men.
39:22  He mocks at fear, and is not frightened; neither turns he back from the sword.
39:23  The quiver rattles against him, the glittering spear and the javelin.
39:24  He swallows the ground with fierceness and rage: neither does he halt at the sound of the trumpet.
39:25  He says among the trumpets, Aha; 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 abides on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the stronghold.
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.
