Job 39 — KJV

39 Verse 1 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve? ^{Verse 2} Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth? ^{Verse 3} They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows. ^{Verse 4} Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them. ^{Verse 5} Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass? ^{Verse 6} Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings. ^{Verse 7} He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver. ^{Verse 8} The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing. ^{Verse 9} Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? ^{Verse 10} Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? ^{Verse 11} Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him? ^{Verse 12} Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn? ^{Verse 13} Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich? ^{Verse 14} Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust, ^{Verse 15} And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them. ^{Verse 16} She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear; ^{Verse 17} Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding. ^{Verse 18} What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider. ^{Verse 19} Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? ^{Verse 20} Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible. ^{Verse 21} He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men. ^{Verse 22} He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword. ^{Verse 23} The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield. ^{Verse 24} He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet. ^{Verse 25} He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. ^{Verse 26} Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south? ^{Verse 27} Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high? ^{Verse 28} She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place. ^{Verse 29} From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off. ^{Verse 30} Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.
