nsb@Job:39:1 @ »Do you know when the mountain goats give birth? Do you observe the calving of the deer?

nsb@Job:39:2 @ »Can you number the months that they fulfill, and do you know the time when they give birth,

nsb@Job:39:3 @ when they crouch to give birth to their offspring, and are delivered of their young?

nsb@Job:39:4 @ »Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open; they go forth, and do not return to them.

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

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

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

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

nsb@Job:39:11 @ »Will you rely on him for his great strength? Will you leave your heavy work to him?

nsb@Job:39:15 @ »She is unaware that a foot may crush them, that some wild animal may trample them.

nsb@Job:39:16 @ »She treats her young cruelly, as if they were not hers. Even if her labor is in vain, she is unconcerned.

nsb@Job:39:17 @ »This is because God has made her forget wisdom. He has not given her a share of understanding.

nsb@Job:39:18 @ »When she lifts herself on high, she laughs at the horse and his rider.

nsb@Job:39:19 @ »Do you give the horse his might? Do you clothe his neck with a mane?

nsb@Job:39:20 @ »Do you make him leap like the locust? His majestic snorting is terrible.

nsb@Job:39:21 @ »It paws in strength and finds joy in its power. It charges into battle.

nsb@Job:39:22 @ »It laughs at fear, is afraid of nothing, and does not back away from swords.

nsb@Job:39:23 @ »A quiver of arrows rattles on it along with the flashing spear and javelin.

nsb@Job:39:24 @ »Anxious and excited, the horse eats up the ground and does not trust the sound of the ram's horn.

nsb@Job:39:25 @ »As often as the horn sounds, the horse says: Aha! And it smells the battle far away; the thundering orders of the captains and the battle cries.

nsb@Job:39:26 @ »Is it by your wisdom that the hawk soars, and spreads its wings toward the south?

nsb@Job:39:27 @ »Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up and makes its nest on high?

nsb@Job:39:28 @ »It lives on the rock and makes its home in the fastness of the rocky crag.

nsb@Job:39:29 @ »It spies the pray from there. Its eyes see it from far away.

nsb@Job:39:30 @ »Its young ones suck up blood; and where the slain are, there it is.
