Job 39

Job 39
1¶ Knowest thou the time when the mountain goats bring forth? Hast thou observed when the hinds calve?
2Canst thou number the months that they fulfil, and knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
3 How they crouch down, they bring forth their young ones, and dismiss their pain.
4Their young ones are healthy, they grow up with grain; they go forth and never return unto them again.
5Who freed the wild ass, and who loosed its bands?
6Unto whom I made a house in the wilderness, and his dwellings in the salty land.
7He laughs at the multitude of the city, neither does he hearken to the voice of the exactor of tribute.
8The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searches after every green thing.
9Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee or abide by thy crib?
10Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? Will he harrow the valleys after thee?
11Wilt thou trust him because his strength is great? Or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
12Wilt thou trust him, that he will bring home thy seed and gather it into thy barn?
13¶ Didst thou give beautiful wings unto the peacock, or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?
14Who leaves her eggs in the earth and warms them in dust
15and forgets that the foot may crush them or that the wild beast may break them.
16She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers, not fearing that her labour is in vain,
17because God caused her to forget wisdom and did not give her understanding.
18In her time she lifts up herself on high; she scorns the horse and his rider.
19¶ Hast thou given the horse strength? Hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
20Canst thou make him leap as a grasshopper? The glory of his nostrils is formidable.
21He paws at the earth and rejoices in his strength; he goes forth to meet the armed men.
22He mocks fear and is not afraid; neither does he turn his face from the sword.
23The quiver rattles against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
24He swallows the ground with fierceness and rage; the sound of the shofar does not trouble him;
25for the blasts of the shofar fill him with courage; he smells the battle afar off, the thunder of the princes and the sound of the battle-cry.
26¶ Does the hawk fly by thy industry and stretch her wings toward the south?
27Does the eagle mount up at thy command and make her nest on high?
28She dwells and abides on the rock upon the crag of the rock and the strong place.
29From there she seeks food, and her eyes behold afar off.
30Her young ones suck up the blood; and wherever the slain are, there she is.

Job 39
39
Mountain goat and doe
1Do you know when mountain goats give birth;
do you observe the birthing of does?
2Can you count the months of pregnancy;
do you know when they give birth?
3They crouch, split open for their young,
send forth their offspring.
4Their young are healthy; they grow up in the open country,
leave and never return.
Wild donkey
5Who freed the wild donkey,
loosed the ropes of the onager
6to whom I gave the desert as home,
his dwelling place in the salt flats?
7He laughs at the clamor of the town,
doesn’t hear the driver’s shout,
8searches the hills for food
and seeks any green sprout.
Wild ox
9Will the wild ox agree to be your slave,
or will it spend the night in your crib?
10Can you bind it with a rope to a plowed row;
will it plow the valley behind you?
11Will you trust it because its strength is great
so that you can leave your work to it?
12Can you rely on it to bring back your grain
to gather into your threshing floor?
Ostrich
13The ostrich’s wings flap joyously,
but her wings and plumage are like a stork.
14She leaves her eggs on the earth,
lets them warm in the dust,
15then forgets that a foot may crush them
or a wild animal trample them.
16She treats her young harshly as if they were not hers,
without worrying that her labor might be in vain;
17God didn’t endow her with sense,
didn’t give her some good sense.
18When she flaps her wings high,
she laughs at horse and rider.
Horse
19Did you give strength to the horse,
clothe his neck with a mane,
20cause him to leap like a locust,
his majestic snorting, a fright?
21He#39.21 Or they paws in the valley, prances proudly,
charges at battle weapons,
22laughs at fear, unafraid.
He doesn’t turn away from the sword;
23a quiver of arrows flies by him,
flashing spear and dagger.
24Excitedly, trembling, he swallows the ground;
can’t stand still at a trumpet’s blast.
25At a trumpet’s sound, he says, “Aha!”
smells the battle from afar,
hears#39.25 Heb lacks hears. officers’ shouting and the battle cry.
Hawk and eagle
26Is it due to your understanding that the hawk flies,
spreading its wings to the south?
27Or at your command does the eagle soar,
the vulture build a nest on high?
28They dwell on an outcropping of rock,
their fortress on rock’s edge.
29From there they search for food;
their eyes notice it from afar,
30and their young lap up blood;
where carcasses lie, there they are.
