noyes@Job:39:1 @ Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? Or canst thou observe when the hinds are in labor?
noyes@Job:39:2 @ Canst thou number the months they fulfill, And know the season when they bring forth?
noyes@Job:39:3 @ They bow themselves; they bring forth their young; They cast forth their pains.
noyes@Job:39:4 @ Their young ones are strong; they grow up in the fields; They go away, and return not to them.
noyes@Job:39:5 @ Who hath sent forth the wild ass free? Who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass,
noyes@Job:39:6 @ To whom I have given the wilderness for his house, And the barren land for his dwelling–place?
noyes@Job:39:7 @ He scorneth the tumult of the city, And heedeth not the shouting of the driver;
noyes@Job:39:8 @ The range of the mountains is his pasture; He seeketh after every green thing,
noyes@Job:39:9 @ Will the wild–ox consent to serve thee? Will he pass the night at thy crib?
noyes@Job:39:10 @ Canst thou bind the wild–ox with the harness to the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
noyes@Job:39:11 @ Wilt thou rely upon him because his strength is great, And commit to him thy labor?
noyes@Job:39:12 @ Wilt thou trust him to bring home thy grain, And gather in thy harvest?
noyes@Job:39:13 @ The wing of the ostrich moveth joyfully; But is it with loving pinion and feathers?
noyes@Job:39:14 @ Nay, she layeth her eggs on the ground; She warmeth them in the dust,
noyes@Job:39:15 @ And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, And that the wild beast may break them.
noyes@Job:39:16 @ She is cruel to her young, as if they were not hers; Her labor is in vain, yet she feareth not;
noyes@Job:39:17 @ Because God hath denied her wisdom, And hath not given her understanding.
noyes@Job:39:18 @ Yet when she lasheth herself up on high, She laugheth at the horse and his rider.
noyes@Job:39:19 @ Hast thou given the horse strength? Hast thou clothed his neck with his trembling mane?
noyes@Job:39:20 @ Hast thou taught him to bound like the locust? How majestic his snorting! how terrible!
noyes@Job:39:21 @ He paweth in the valley; he exulteth in his strength, And rusheth into the midst of arms.
noyes@Job:39:22 @ He laugheth at fear; he trembleth not, And turneth not back from the sword.
noyes@Job:39:23 @ Against him rattle the quiver, The flaming spear, and the lance.
noyes@Job:39:24 @ With rage and fury he devoureth the ground; He will not believe that the trumpet soundeth.
noyes@Job:39:25 @ At every blast of the trumpet, he saith, Aha! And snuffeth the battle afar off,––The thunder of the captains, and the war–shout.
noyes@Job:39:26 @ Is it by thy wisdom that the hawk flieth, And spreadeth his wings toward the south?
noyes@Job:39:27 @ Doth the eagle soar at thy command, And build his nest on high?
noyes@Job:39:28 @ He dwelleth and lodgeth upon the rock, Upon the peak of the rock, and the stronghold.
noyes@Job:39:29 @ From thence he spieth out prey; His eyes discern it from afar.
noyes@Job:39:30 @ His young ones suck up blood; And where the slain are, there is he.
