Job 39
39
1“Do you know the time when the wild mountain goats produce offspring? # 1Sa 24:2
Or can you observe when the deer gives birth? # Ps 29:9
2Can you number the months that they fulfill,
or do you know the time when they bring forth?
3They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones,
they get rid of their labor pains.
4Their 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, # Job 6:5; 11:12
6whose home I have made the wilderness,
and the barren land his dwelling? # Dt 29:23; Ps 107:34
7He scorns the multitude in the city
and does not regard the shouts of the driver. # Job 3:18
8The range of the mountains is his pasture,
and he searches after every green thing.
9“Will the wild ox # Nu 23:22; Dt 33:17; Ps 92:10 be willing to serve you
or spend the night by your manger?
10Can you bind the wild ox in the furrow with ropes?
Or will he plow the valleys behind you?
11Will you trust him because his strength is great?
Or will you leave your labor to him?
12Will 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,
14who leaves her eggs in the earth,
and warms them in dust,
15and forgets that a foot may crush them,
or that the wild beast may break them?
16She is hardened against her young ones, # La 4:3
as though they were not hers;
her labor is in vain, without concern,
17because God has deprived her of wisdom,
nor has He imparted understanding to her. # Job 35:11
18When 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?
20Can you make him afraid like a grasshopper?
The glory of his nostrils is awesome. # Jer 8:16
21He paws in the valley and rejoices in his strength;
he goes on to meet the armed men. # Jer 8:6
22He mocks at fear and is not frightened,
nor does he turn back from the sword.
23The quiver rattles against him,
the glittering spear and the shield.
24He devours the distance with fierceness and rage,
and he does not stand still at the sound of the trumpet.
25At 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?
27Does the eagle mount up at your command
and make her nest on high? # Jer 49:16; Ob 4
28She dwells and remains on the rock,
upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.
29From there she seeks the prey, # Job 9:26
and her eyes see it from afar.
30Her young ones also suck up blood,
and where the slain are, there she is.” # Mt 24:28; Lk 17:37
