Job|39:1|-|Do you know the time when the mountain |a|goats bring forth?Can you mark the time when the |b|hinds calve?
Job|39:2|-|Can you number the months that they must fulfill?Or do you know the time when they bring forth?
Job|39:3|-|They crouch down; they give birth to their young ones;They send forth their offspring.
Job|39:4|-|Their young become strong; they grow up in the open field;They go forth and do not return to them.
Job|39:5|-|Who has sent out the |a|wild ass free?Or who has loosed the bonds of the swift ass,
Job|39:6|-|Whose home I have made the wilderness,And the salt land, his dwelling place?
Job|39:7|-|He scorns the tumult of the city;He does not hear the shouts of the driver.
Job|39:8|-|He searches out the mountains for his pastureAnd seeks after every green thing.
Job|39:9|-|Will the |a|wild ox be willing to serve youOr spend the night by your manger?
Job|39:10|-|Can you bind the wild ox to the furrows with his ropes?Or will he plow the valleys behind you?
Job|39:11|-|Will you trust in him because his strength is great?Or will you leave your labor to him?
Job|39:12|-|Will you have confidence in him that he will bring in your seedAnd gather your grain to your threshing floor?
Job|39:13|-|The wings of the |a|ostrich flap joyously:Are they the pinion and plumage of lovingkindness?
Job|39:14|-|For she leaves her eggs on the earthAnd warms them in the dust.
Job|39:15|-|And she forgets that a foot may crush themOr that an animal of the field may trample them.
Job|39:16|-|She is hard with her children, as if they were not hers;Though her labor may be in vain, she has no fear;
Job|39:17|-|Because God has caused her to forget wisdomAnd has not appointed understanding to her.
Job|39:18|-|At that time when she lifts herself up on high,She scorns the horse and its rider.
Job|39:19|-|Have you given the |a|horse his might?Have you clothed his neck with the quivering mane?
Job|39:20|-|Have you made him to leap like a locust?His majestic snorting is terrible.
Job|39:21|-||1|He paws in the valley,And he rejoices in his strength;
He goes forth to meet weapons.
Job|39:22|-|He laughs at fear and is not dismayed,And he does not turn back from the sword.
Job|39:23|-|A quiver of arrows rattles against him,The flashing spear and the javelin.
Job|39:24|-|With fierceness and rage he swallows the ground,And he cannot stand still at the sound of the trumpet.
Job|39:25|-|As often as the trumpet sounds, he says, Aha!And from afar he smells the battle,
The thundering of captains and the shouting.
Job|39:26|-|Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars,Stretching his wings to the south?
Job|39:27|-|Is it at your command that the |a|eagle mounts upAnd makes his nest on high?
Job|39:28|-|On the cliff he dwells and makes his lodging,Upon the point of the cliff and the stronghold.
Job|39:29|-|From there he spies out food;His eyes gaze on it from afar.
Job|39:30|-|And his young ones suck up the blood;And where the slain are, |a|there he is.
