Job:39:1-41
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth ?
or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve ?
*
Canst thou number the months that they fulfil ?
or knowest thou the time when they bring forth ?
*
They bow themselves ,
they bring forth their young ones ,
they cast out their sorrows .
*
Their young ones are in good liking ,
they grow up with corn ;
they go forth ,
and return not unto them .
*
Who hath sent out the wild ass free ?
or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass ?
*
Whose house I have made the wilderness ,
and the barren land his dwellings .
*
He scorneth the multitude of the city ,
neither regardeth he the crying of the driver .
*
The range of the mountains is his pasture mir #
eh #,
and he searcheth after every green thing .
*
Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee ,
or abide by thy crib ?
*
Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow ?
or will he harrow the valleys after thee ?
*
Wilt thou trust him ,
because his strength is great ?
or wilt thou leave thy labour to him ?
*
Wilt thou believe him ,
that he will bring home (
8675 )
thy seed ,
and gather it into thy barn ?
*
Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks ?
or wings and feathers unto the ostrich ?
*
Which leaveth her eggs in the earth ,
and warmeth them in dust ,
*
And forgetteth that the foot may crush them ,
or that the wild beast may break them .
*
She is hardened against her young ones ,
as though they were not hers :
her labour is in vain without fear ;
*
Because God hath deprived her of wisdom ,
neither hath he imparted to her understanding .
*
What time she lifteth up herself on high ,
she scorneth the horse and his rider .
*
Hast thou given the horse strength ?
hast thou clothed his neck with thunder ra #
mah #?
*
Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper ?
the glory of his nostrils is terrible .
*
He paweth in the valley ,
and rejoiceth in his strength :
he goeth on to meet the armed men .
*
He mocketh at fear ,
and is not affrighted ;
neither turneth he back from the sword .
*
The quiver rattleth against him ,
the glittering spear and the shield .
*
He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage :
neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet .
*
He saith among the trumpets ,
Ha ,
ha ;
and he smelleth the battle afar off ,
the thunder of the captains ,
and the shouting t @
ruw #
ah #.
*
Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom ,
and stretch her wings toward the south ?
*
Doth the eagle mount up at thy command ,
and make #
her nest on high ?
*
She dwelleth and abideth on the rock ,
upon the crag of the rock ,
and the strong place .
*
From thence she seeketh the prey ,
and her eyes behold afar off .
*
Her young ones also suck up blood :
and where the slain are ,
there is she .
