Job 39




nkjv@Job:39:1 @ "Do you know the time when the wild mountain goats bear young? Or can you mark when the deer gives birth?

nkjv@Job:39:2 @ Can you number the months that they fulfill? Or do you know the time when they bear young?

nkjv@Job:39:3 @ They bow down, They bring forth their young, They deliver their offspring.

nkjv@Job:39:4 @ Their young ones are healthy, They grow strong with grain; They depart and do not return to them.

nkjv@Job:39:5 @ "Who set the wild donkey free? Who loosed the bonds of the onager,

nkjv@Job:39:6 @ Whose home I have made the wilderness, And the barren land his dwelling?

nkjv@Job:39:7 @ He scorns the tumult of the city; He does not heed the shouts of the driver.

nkjv@Job:39:8 @ The range of the mountains is his pasture, And he searches after every green thing.

nkjv@Job:39:9 @ "Will the wild ox be willing to serve you? Will he bed by your manger?

nkjv@Job:39:10 @ Can you bind the wild ox in the furrow with ropes? Or will he plow the valleys behind you?

nkjv@Job:39:11 @ Will you trust him because his strength is great? Or will you leave your labor to him?

nkjv@Job:39:12 @ Will you trust him to bring home your grain, And gather it to your threshing floor?

nkjv@Job:39:13 @ "The wings of the ostrich wave proudly, But are her wings and pinions like the kindly stork's?

nkjv@Job:39:14 @ For she leaves her eggs on the ground, And warms them in the dust;

nkjv@Job:39:15 @ She forgets that a foot may crush them, Or that a wild beast may break them.

nkjv@Job:39:16 @ She treats her young harshly, as though they were not hers; Her labor is in vain, without concern,

nkjv@Job:39:17 @ Because God deprived her of wisdom, And did not endow her with understanding.

nkjv@Job:39:18 @ When she lifts herself on high, She scorns the horse and its rider.

nkjv@Job:39:19 @ "Have you given the horse strength? Have you clothed his neck with thunder?

nkjv@Job:39:20 @ Can you frighten him like a locust? His majestic snorting strikes terror.

nkjv@Job:39:21 @ He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength; He gallops into the clash of arms.

nkjv@Job:39:22 @ He mocks at fear, and is not frightened; Nor does he turn back from the sword.

nkjv@Job:39:23 @ The quiver rattles against him, The glittering spear and javelin.

nkjv@Job:39:24 @ He devours the distance with fierceness and rage; Nor does he come to a halt because the trumpet has sounded.

nkjv@Job:39:25 @ At the blast of the trumpet he says, "Aha!' He smells the battle from afar, The thunder of captains and shouting.

nkjv@Job:39:26 @ "Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, And spread its wings toward the south?

nkjv@Job:39:27 @ Does the eagle mount up at your command, And make its nest on high?

nkjv@Job:39:28 @ On the rock it dwells and resides, On the crag of the rock and the stronghold.

nkjv@Job:39:29 @ From there it spies out the prey; Its eyes observe from afar.

nkjv@Job:39:30 @ Its young ones suck up blood; And where the slain are, there it is."
