Job - Chapter 39 - American King James Version
- Know you the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or can you mark when the hinds do calve?
- Can you number the months that they fulfill? or know you 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 to them.
- Who has sent out the wild ass free? or who has loosed the bands of the wild ass?
- Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.
- He scorns the multitude of the city, neither regards he the crying of the driver.
- The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searches after every green thing.
- Will the unicorn be willing to serve you, or abide by your crib?
- Can you bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after you?
- Will you trust him, because his strength is great? or will you leave your labor to him?
- Will you believe him, that he will bring home your seed, and gather it into your barn?
- Gave you the goodly wings to the peacocks? or wings and feathers to the ostrich?
- Which leaves her eggs in the earth, and warms them in dust,
- And forgets 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 her': her labor is in vain without fear;
- Because God has deprived her of wisdom, neither has he imparted to her understanding.
- What time she lifts up herself on high, she scorns the horse and his rider.
- Have you given the horse strength? have you clothed his neck with thunder?
- Can you make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
- He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength: he goes on to meet the armed men.
- He mocks at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turns he back from the sword.
- The quiver rattles against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
- He swallows the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believes he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
- He said among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smells the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
- Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?
- Does the eagle mount up at your command, and make her nest on high?
- She dwells and stays on the rock, on the crag of the rock, and the strong place.
- From there she seeks the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.
- Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.
