Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:1 -

Do you know when mountain goats give birth?

Have you watched the deer in labor?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:2 -

Can you count the months they are pregnant[fn]

so you can know the time they give birth?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:3 -

They crouch down to give birth to their young;

they deliver their newborn.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:4 -

Their offspring are healthy and grow up in the open field.

They leave and do not return.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:5 -

Who set the wild donkey free?

Who released the swift donkey from its harness?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:6 -

I made the desert its home,

and the salty wasteland its dwelling.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:7 -

It scoffs at the noise of the village

and never hears the shouts of a driver.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:8 -

It roams the mountains for its pastureland,

searching for anything green.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:9 -

Would the wild ox be willing to serve you?

Would it spend the night by your feeding trough?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:10 -

Can you hold the wild ox to a furrow by its harness?

Will it plow the valleys behind you?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:11 -

Can you depend on it because its strength is great?

Would you leave it to do your hard work?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:12 -

Can you trust the wild ox to harvest your grain

and bring it to your threshing floor?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:13 -

The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully,

but are her feathers and plumage like the stork’s?[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:14 -

She abandons her eggs on the ground

and lets them be warmed in the sand.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:15 -

She forgets that a foot may crush them

or that some wild animal may trample them.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:16 -

She treats her young harshly, as if they were not her own,

with no fear that her labor may have been in vain.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:17 -

For God has deprived her of wisdom;

he has not endowed her with understanding.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:18 -

When she proudly[fn] spreads her wings,

she laughs at the horse and its rider.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:19 -

Do you give strength to the horse?

Do you adorn his neck with a mane?[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:20 -

Do you make him leap like a locust?

His proud snorting fills one with terror.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:21 -

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

he charges into battle.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:22 -

He laughs at fear, since he is afraid of nothing;

he does not run from the sword.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:23 -

A quiver rattles at his side,

along with a flashing spear and a javelin.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:24 -

He charges ahead[fn] with trembling rage;

he cannot stand still at the sound of the ram’s horn.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:25 -

When the ram’s horn blasts, he snorts defiantly.[fn]

He smells the battle from a distance;

he hears the officers’ shouts and the battle cry.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:26 -

Does the hawk take flight by your understanding

and spread its wings to the south?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:27 -

Does the eagle soar at your command

and make its nest on high?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:28 -

It lives on a cliff where it spends the night;

its stronghold is on a rocky crag.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:29 -

From there it searches for prey;

its eyes penetrate the distance.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:30 -

Its brood gulps down blood,

and where the slain are, it is there.
