dby@Job:39:1 @ Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? dost thou mark the calving of the hinds?

dby@Job:39:2 @ Dost thou number the months that they fulfil? and knowest thou the time when they bring forth?

dby@Job:39:3 @ They bow themselves, they give birth to their young ones, they cast out their pains;

dby@Job:39:4 @ Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field, they go forth, and return not unto them.

dby@Job:39:5 @ Who hath sent out the wild ass free? and who hath loosed the bands of the onager,

dby@Job:39:6 @ Whose house I made the wilderness, and the salt plain his dwellings?

dby@Job:39:7 @ He laugheth at the tumult of the city, and heareth not the shouts of the driver;

dby@Job:39:8 @ The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.

dby@Job:39:9 @ Will the buffalo be willing to serve thee, or will he lodge by thy crib?

dby@Job:39:10 @ Canst thou bind the buffalo with his cord in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?

dby@Job:39:11 @ Wilt thou put confidence in him, because his strength is great? and wilt thou leave thy labour to him?

dby@Job:39:12 @ Wilt thou trust him to bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy threshing-floor?

dby@Job:39:13 @ The wing of the ostrich beats joyously -- But is it the stork's pinion and plumage?

dby@Job:39:14 @ For she leaveth her eggs to the earth, and warmeth them in the dust,

dby@Job:39:15 @ And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the beast of the field may trample them.

dby@Job:39:16 @ She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers; her labour is in vain, without her concern.

dby@Job:39:17 @ For +God hath deprived her of wisdom, and hath not furnished her with understanding.

dby@Job:39:18 @ What time she lasheth herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.

dby@Job:39:19 @ Hast thou given strength to the horse? hast thou clothed his neck with the quivering mane?

dby@Job:39:20 @ Dost thou make him to leap as a locust? His majestic snorting is terrible.

dby@Job:39:21 @ He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in [his] strength; he goeth forth to meet the armed host.

dby@Job:39:22 @ He laugheth at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from before the sword.

dby@Job:39:23 @ The quiver rattleth upon him, the glittering spear and the javelin.

dby@Job:39:24 @ He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage, and cannot contain himself at the sound of the trumpet:

dby@Job:39:25 @ At the noise of the trumpets he saith, Aha! and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

dby@Job:39:26 @ Doth the hawk fly by thine intelligence, [and] stretch his wings toward the south?

dby@Job:39:27 @ Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make his nest on high?

dby@Job:39:28 @ He inhabiteth the rock and maketh his dwelling on the point of the cliff, and the fastness:

dby@Job:39:29 @ From thence he spieth out the prey, his eyes look into the distance;

dby@Job:39:30 @ And his young ones suck up blood; and where the slain are, there is he.
