Job 39NO HIGHLIGHTSHIGHLIGHTS 39:1 ''Do you know the time when the wild mountain goats bear young? Or can you mark when the deer gives birth? 39:2 Can you number the months that they fulfill? Or do you know the time when they bear young? 39:3 They bow down, They bring forth their young, They deliver their offspring. 39:4 Their young ones are healthy, They grow strong with grain; They depart and do not return to them. 39:5 ''Who set the wild donkey free? Who loosed the bonds of the onager, 39:6 Whose home I have made the wilderness, And the barren land his dwelling? 39:7 He scorns the tumult of the city; He does not heed the shouts of the driver. 39:8 The range of the mountains is his pasture, And he searches after every green thing. 39:9 ''Will the wild ox be willing to serve you? Will he bed by your manger? 39:10 Can you bind the wild ox in the furrow with ropes? Or will he plow the valleys behind you? 39:11 Will you trust him because his strength is great? Or will you leave your labor to him? 39:12 Will you trust him to bring home your grain, And gather it to your threshing floor? 39:13 ''The wings of the ostrich wave proudly, But are her wings and pinions like the kindly stork's? 39:14 For she leaves her eggs on the ground, And warms them in the dust; 39:15 She forgets that a foot may crush them, Or that a wild beast may break them. 39:16 She treats her young harshly, as though they were not hers; Her labor is in vain, without concern, 39:17 Because God deprived her of wisdom, And did not endow her with understanding. 39:18 When she lifts herself on high, She scorns the horse and its rider. 39:19 ''Have you given the horse strength? Have you clothed his neck with thunder? 39:20 Can you frighten him like a locust? His majestic snorting strikes terror. 39:21 He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength; He gallops into the clash of arms. 39:22 He mocks at fear, and is not frightened; Nor does he turn back from the sword. 39:23 The quiver rattles against him, The glittering spear and javelin. 39:24 He devours the distance with fierceness and rage; Nor does he come to a halt because the trumpet has sounded. 39:25 At the blast of the trumpet he says, 'Aha'! He smells the battle from afar, The thunder of captains and shouting. 39:26 ''Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, And spread its wings toward the south? 39:27 Does the eagle mount up at your command, And make its nest on high? 39:28 On the rocks it dwells and resides, On the crag of the rock and the stronghold. 39:29 From there it spies out the prey; Its eyes observe from afar. 39:30 Its young ones suck up blood; And where the slain are, there it is.''
