Job 39:1-30 NASB

[1] “Do you know the time the mountain goats give birth? Do you observe the calving of the deer? [2] “Can you count the months they fulfill, Or do you know the time they give birth? [3] “They kneel down, they deliver their young, They get rid of their labor pains. [4] “Their offspring become strong, they grow up in the open field; They leave and do not return to them. [5] “Who sent the wild donkey out free? And who opened the bonds of the swift donkey, [6] To whom I gave the wilderness as his home, And the salt land as his dwelling place? [7] “He laughs at the turmoil of the city, He does not hear the shouting of the taskmaster. [8] “He explores the mountains of his pasture, And searches after every green thing. [9] “Will the wild bull be willing to serve you, Or will he spend the night at your feeding trough? [10] “Can you tie down the wild bull in a furrow with ropes, Or will he plow the valleys after you? [11] “Will you trust him because his strength is great, And leave your labor to him? [12] “Will you have faith in him that he will return your grain And gather it from your threshing floor? [13] “The wings of the ostrich flap joyously, With the pinion and feathers of love, [14] For she abandons her eggs to the earth And warms them in the dust, [15] And she forgets that a foot may crush them, Or that a wild animal may trample them. [16] “She treats her young cruelly, as if they were not hers; Though her labor is for nothing, she is unconcerned, [17] Because God has made her forget wisdom, And has not given her a share of understanding. [18] “When she rushes away on high, She laughs at the horse and his rider. [19] “Do you give the horse his might? Do you clothe his neck with a mane? [20] “Do you make him leap like locusts? His majestic snorting is frightening. [21] “He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength; He goes out to meet the battle. [22] “He laughs at fear and is not dismayed; And he does not turn back from the sword. [23] “The quiver rattles against him, The flashing spear and javelin. [24] “He races over the ground with a roar and fury, And he does not stand still when he hears the sound of the trumpet. [25] “As often as the trumpet sounds he says, ‘Aha!’ And he senses the battle from afar, And the thunder of the captains and the war cry. [26] “Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars, Stretching his wings toward the south? [27] “Is it at your command that the eagle flies high, And makes his nest on high? [28] “He dwells and spends his nights on the cliff, On the rocky cliff, an inaccessible place. [29] “From there he tracks food; His eyes look at it from afar. [30] “His young ones also lick up blood greedily; And where the slain are, there he is.”
