Job
39:1 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or
canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
39:2 Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou 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 unto them.
39:5 Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath 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 scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying
of the driver.
39:8 The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every
green thing.
39:9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
39:10 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he
harrow the valleys after thee?
39:11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave
thy labour to him?
39:12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it
into thy barn?
39:13 Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers
unto the ostrich?
39:14 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,
39:15 And forgetteth 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 hers:
her labour is in vain without fear;
39:17 Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her
understanding.
39:18 What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his
rider.
39:19 Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with
thunder?
39:20 Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils
is terrible.
39:21 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to
meet the armed men.
39:22 He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from
the sword.
39:23 The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
39:24 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he
that it is the sound of the trumpet.
39:25 He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar
off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
39:26 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?
39:27 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?
39:28 She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the
strong place.
39:29 From thence she seeketh 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.
