Job 39 – Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

1 “Do you know ^H3045 the time ^H6256 the [fn]mountain ^H3277 H5553 goats ^H3277 give ^H3205 birth ^H3205?

Do you keep ^H8104 watch ^H8104 over the calving ^H2342 of the deer ^H355?

2 “Can you count ^H5608 the months ^H3391 they fulfill ^H4390,

Or do you know ^H3045 the time ^H6256 they give ^H3205 birth ^H3205?

3 “They kneel ^H3766 down ^H3766; they bring ^H6398 forth ^H6398 their young ^H3206;

They send ^H7971 out ^H7971 their labor ^H2256 pains ^H2256.

4 “Their children ^H1121 become ^H2492 strong ^H2492; they grow ^H7235 up ^H7235 in the open ^H1250 field ^H1250;

They leave ^H3318 and do not return ^H7725 to them.

5 “Who ^H4310 sent ^H7971 out ^H7971 the wild ^H6501 donkey ^H6501 free ^H2670?

And who ^H4310 loosed ^H6605 the bonds ^H4147 of the swift ^H6171 donkey ^H6171,

6 For whom ^H834 I have set ^H7760 the desert ^H6160 plain ^H6160 as a home ^H1004

And the salt ^H4420 land ^H4420 as his dwelling ^H4908 place ^H4908?

7 “He laughs ^H7832 at the tumult ^H1995 of the city ^H7151;

The shoutings ^H8663 of the driver ^H5065 he does not hear ^H8085.

8 “He explores ^H8446 the mountains ^H2022 for his pasture ^H4829

And searches ^H1875 after ^H310 every ^H3605 green ^H3387 thing ^H3387.

9 “Will the wild ^H7214 ox ^H7214 consent ^H14 to serve ^H5647 you,

Or ^H518 will he spend ^H3885 the ^H3885 night ^H3885 at your manger ^H18?

10 “Can you bind ^H7194 the wild ^H7214 ox ^H7214 in a furrow ^H8525 with [fn]ropes ^H5688,

Or ^H518 will he harrow ^H7702 the valleys ^H6010 after ^H310 you?

11 “Will you trust ^H539 him because ^H3588 his power ^H3581 is great ^H7227

And leave ^H5800 your labor ^H3018 to him?

12 “Will you believe ^H539 him that he will return ^H7725 your seed ^H2233 of grain

And gather ^H622 it from your threshing ^H1637 floor ^H1637?

13 “The ostriches’ ^H7443 wings ^H3671 flap ^H5965 joyously ^H5965

But are they the pinion ^H84 and plumage ^H5133 of a [fn]stork ^H2623?

14 For she leaves ^H5800 her eggs ^H1000 to the earth ^H776

And warms ^H2552 them in the dust ^H6083,

15 And she forgets ^H7911 that a foot ^H7272 may crush ^H2115 [fn]them,

Or that a beast ^H2416 of the field ^H7704 may trample ^H1758 [fn]them.

16 “She treats ^H7188 her children ^H1121 cruelly ^H7188, as if they were not hers;

Though her labor ^H3018 be empty ^H7385, she is without ^H1097 dread ^H6343,

17 Because ^H3588 God ^H433 has made her forget ^H5382 wisdom ^H2451,

And has not given ^H2505 her a ^H2505 share ^H2505 of understanding ^H998.

18 “When ^H6256 she raises ^H4754 herself up high ^H4791,

She laughs ^H7832 at the horse ^H5483 and his rider ^H7392.

19 “Do you give ^H5414 the horse ^H5483 his might ^H1369?

Do you clothe ^H3847 his neck ^H6677 with a mane ^H7483?

20 “Do you make him leap ^H7493 like the locust ^H697?

His splendid ^H1935 snorting ^H5170 is terrible ^H367.

21 “[fn]He paws ^H2658 in the valley ^H6010 and rejoices ^H7797 in his power ^H3581;

He goes ^H3318 out ^H3318 to meet ^H7122 the weapons ^H5402.

22 “He laughs ^H7832 at dread ^H6343 and is not dismayed ^H2865;

And he does not turn ^H7725 back ^H7725 from the sword ^H2719.

23 “The quiver ^H827 rattles ^H7439 against ^H5921 him,

The flashing ^H3851 spear ^H2595 and javelin ^H3591.

24 “With shaking ^H7494 and rage ^H7267 he [fn]races ^H1572 over the ground ^H776,

And he does not [fn]stand ^H539 still ^H539 at the sound ^H6963 of the trumpet ^H7782.

25 “As often ^H1767 as the trumpet ^H7782 sounds he says ^H559, ‘Aha ^H1889!’

And he scents ^H7306 the battle ^H4421 from afar ^H7350,

And the thunder ^H7482 of the commanders ^H8269 and the shout ^H8643 of war.

26 “Is it by your understanding ^H998 that the hawk ^H5322 soars ^H82,

Stretching ^H6566 his wings ^H3671 toward the south ^H8486?

27 “Is it at your [fn]command ^H6310 that the eagle ^H5404 goes ^H1361 on high ^H1361

And raises ^H7311 his nest ^H7064 high ^H7311?

28 “On the cliff ^H5553 he dwells ^H7931 and lodges ^H3885,

Upon the rocky ^H5553 crag ^H8127, a fortress ^H4686.

29 “From there ^H8033 he [fn]spies ^H2658 out ^H2658 food ^H400;

His eyes ^H5869 see ^H5027 it from afar ^H7350.

30 “His young ^H667 ones ^H667 also suck ^H5966 up ^H5966 blood ^H1818;

And where ^H834 the slain ^H2491 are, there ^H8033 is he.”
