Job 39 — JPSTN
39Verse 1Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? Or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?Verse 2Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? Or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?Verse 3They bow themselves, they bring forth their young, they cast out their fruit.Verse 4Their young ones wax strong, they grow up in the open field; they go forth, and return not again.Verse 5Who hath sent out the wild ass free? Or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?Verse 6Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the salt land his dwelling-place.Verse 7He scorneth the tumult of the city, neither heareth he the shoutings of the driver.Verse 8The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.Verse 9Will the wild-ox be willing to serve thee? Or will he abide by thy crib?Verse 10Canst thou bind the wild-ox with his band in the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys after thee?Verse 11Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? Or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?Verse 12Wilt thou rely on him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather the corn of thy threshing-floor?Verse 13The wing of the ostrich beateth joyously; but are her pinions and feathers the kindly stork's?Verse 14For she leaveth her eggs on the earth, and warmeth them in dust,Verse 15And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may trample them.Verse 16She is hardened against her young ones, as if they were not hers; though her labour be in vain, she is without fear;Verse 17Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath He imparted to her understanding.Verse 18When the time cometh, she raiseth her wings on high, and scorneth the horse and his rider.Verse 19Hast thou given the horse his strength? Hast thou clothed his neck with fierceness?Verse 20Hast thou made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his snorting is terrible.Verse 21He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength; he goeth out to meet the clash of arms.Verse 22He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.Verse 23The quiver rattleth upon him, the glittering spear and the javelin.Verse 24He swalloweth the ground with storm and rage; neither believeth he that it is the voice of the horn.Verse 25As oft as he heareth the horn he saith: 'Ha, ha!' and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.Verse 26Doth the hawk soar by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?Verse 27Doth the vulture mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?Verse 28She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the stronghold.Verse 29From thence she spieth out the prey; her eyes behold it afar off.Verse 30Her young ones also suck up blood; and where the slain are, there is she.
