Job 39:1-30 MEV

[1] "Do you know the time when the wild mountain goats produce offspring? Or can you observe when the deer gives birth? [2] Can you number the months that they fulfill, or do you know the time when they bring forth? [3] They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they get rid of their labor pains. [4] Their young ones are healthy, they grow strong with grain; they go forth and do not return to them. [5] "Who has sent out the wild donkey free? Or who has loosed the bands of the wild donkey, [6] whose home I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwelling? [7] He scorns the multitude in the city and does not regard the shouts of the driver. [8] The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searches after every green thing. [9] "Will the wild ox be willing to serve you or spend the night by your manger? [10] Can you bind the wild ox in the furrow with ropes? Or will he plow the valleys behind you? [11] Will you trust him because his strength is great? Or will you leave your labor to him? [12] Will you trust him to bring home your grain and gather it into your barn? [13] "Did you give the beautiful wings to the peacocks? Or wings and feathers to the ostrich, [14] who leaves her eggs in the earth, and warms them in dust, [15] and forgets that a foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them? [16] She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers; her labor is in vain, without concern, [17] because God has deprived her of wisdom, nor has He imparted understanding to her. [18] When she lifts up herself on high, she scorns the horse and his rider. [19] "Have you given the horse strength? Have you clothed his neck with thunder? [20] Can you make him afraid like a grasshopper? The glory of his nostrils is awesome. [21] He paws in the valley and rejoices in his strength; he goes on to meet the armed men. [22] He mocks at fear and is not frightened, nor does he turn back from the sword. [23] The quiver rattles against him, the glittering spear and the shield. [24] He devours the distance with fierceness and rage, and he does not stand still at the sound of the trumpet. [25] At the sound of the trumpet he says, 'Aha'; he smells the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. [26] "Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south? [27] Does the eagle mount up at your command and make her nest on high? [28] She dwells and remains on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place. [29] From there she seeks the prey, and her eyes see it from afar. [30] Her young ones also suck up blood, and where the slain are, there she is."
