Job 39 — LSV

39Verse 1“Have you known the time of || The bearing of the wild goats of the rock? Do you mark the bringing forth of does?^{Verse 2}Do you number the months they fulfill? And have you known the time of their bringing forth?^{Verse 3}They bow down, || They bring forth their young ones safely, || They cast forth their pangs.^{Verse 4}Their young ones are safe, || They grow up in the field, they have gone out, || And have not returned to them.^{Verse 5}Who has sent forth the wild donkey free? Indeed, who opened the bands of the wild donkey?^{Verse 6}Whose house I have made the wilderness, || And his dwellings the barren land,^{Verse 7}He laughs at the multitude of a city, || He does not hear the cries of an exactor.^{Verse 8}The range of mountains [is] his pasture, || And he seeks after every green thing.^{Verse 9}Is a wild ox willing to serve you? Does he lodge by your crib?^{Verse 10}Do you bind a wild ox in a furrow [with] his thick band? Does he harrow valleys after you?^{Verse 11}Do you trust in him because his power [is] great? And do you leave your labor to him?^{Verse 12}Do you trust in him || That he brings back your seed, || And gathers [it to] your threshing-floor?^{Verse 13}[The] wing of the crying ostriches exults, but as a pinion and feather of a stork?^{Verse 14}For she leaves her eggs on the earth, || And she warms them on the dust,^{Verse 15}And she forgets that a foot may press it, || And a beast of the field treads it down.^{Verse 16}It has hardened her young ones without her, || Her labor [is] in vain, without fear.^{Verse 17}For God has caused her to forget wisdom, || And He has not given a portion || To her in understanding;^{Verse 18}At the time she lifts herself up on high, || She laughs at the horse and his rider.^{Verse 19}Do you give might to the horse? Do you clothe his neck [with] a mane?^{Verse 20}Do you cause him to rush as a locust? The splendor of his snorting [is] terrible.^{Verse 21}They dig in a valley, and he rejoices in power, || He goes forth to meet the armor.^{Verse 22}He laughs at fear, and is not frightened, || And he does not turn back from the face of the sword.^{Verse 23}Quiver rattles against him, || The flame of a spear, and a javelin.^{Verse 24}He swallows the ground with trembling and rage, || And does not remain steadfast || Because of the sound of a horn.^{Verse 25}Among the horns he says, Aha, || And from afar he smells battle, || Roaring of princes and shouting.^{Verse 26}By your understanding does a hawk fly? Does he spread his wings to the south?^{Verse 27}At your command does an eagle go up high? Or lift up his nest?^{Verse 28}He inhabits a rock, || Indeed, he lodges on the tooth of a rock, and fortress.^{Verse 29}From there he has sought food, || His eyes look attentively to a far-off place,^{Verse 30}And his brood sucks up blood, || And where the pierced [are]—there [is] he!”
