Job 39 — ENGLXXUP

39 Verse 1 Say if thou knowest the time of the bringing forth of the wild goats of the rock, ^{Verse 2} And if thou hast numbered the full months of their being with young, ^{Verse 3} And hast reared their young without fear; ^{Verse 4} Their young will break forth; they will be multiplied with offspring: ^{Verse 5} And who is he that sent forth the wild ass free? ^{Verse 6} Whereas I made his habitation the wilderness, ^{Verse 7} He laughs to scorn the multitude of the city, ^{Verse 8} He will survey the mountains as his pasture, ^{Verse 9} And will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, ^{Verse 10} And wilt thou bind his yoke with thongs, ^{Verse 11} And dost thou trust him, because his strength is great? ^{Verse 12} And wilt thou believe that he will return to thee thy seed, ^{Verse 13} The peacock has a beautiful wing: ^{Verse 14} For the ostrich will leave her eggs in the ground, ^{Verse 15} And has forgotten that the foot will scatter them, ^{Verse 16} She has hardened herself against her young ones, as though she bereaved not herself: ^{Verse 17} For God has withholden wisdom from her, ^{Verse 18} In her season she will lift herself on high; ^{Verse 19} Hast thou invested the horse with strength, ^{Verse 20} And hast thou clad him in perfect armor, ^{Verse 21} He paws exulting in the plain, ^{Verse 22} He laughs to scorn a king as he meets him, ^{Verse 23} The bow and sword resound against him; ^{Verse 24} And he will not believe until the trumpet sounds. ^{Verse 25} And when the trumpet sounds, he says, Aha! ^{Verse 26} And does the hawk remain steady by thy wisdom, ^{Verse 27} And does the eagle rise at thy command, ^{Verse 28} On a crag of a rock, and in a secret place? ^{Verse 29} Thence he seeks food, ^{Verse 30} And his young ones roll themselves in blood,
