1Know you the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or can you mark when the hinds do calve?Select Job 39:1

2Can you number the months that they fulfill? or know you the time when they bring forth?Select Job 39:2

3They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.Select Job 39:3

4Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not to them.Select Job 39:4

5Who has sent out the wild ass free? or who has loosed the bands of the wild ass?Select Job 39:5

6Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.Select Job 39:6

7He scorns the multitude of the city, neither regards he the crying of the driver.Select Job 39:7

8The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searches after every green thing.Select Job 39:8

9Will the unicorn be willing to serve you, or abide by your crib?Select Job 39:9

10Can you bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after you?Select Job 39:10

11Will you trust him, because his strength is great? or will you leave your labor to him?Select Job 39:11

12Will you believe him, that he will bring home your seed, and gather it into your barn?Select Job 39:12

13Gave you the goodly wings to the peacocks? or wings and feathers to the ostrich?Select Job 39:13

14Which leaves her eggs in the earth, and warms them in dust,Select Job 39:14

15And forgets that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.Select Job 39:15

16She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labor is in vain without fear;Select Job 39:16

17Because God has deprived her of wisdom, neither has he imparted to her understanding.Select Job 39:17

18What time she lifts up herself on high, she scorns the horse and his rider.Select Job 39:18

19Have you given the horse strength? have you clothed his neck with thunder?Select Job 39:19

20Can you make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.Select Job 39:20

21He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength: he goes on to meet the armed men.Select Job 39:21

22He mocks at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turns he back from the sword.Select Job 39:22

23The quiver rattles against him, the glittering spear and the shield.Select Job 39:23

24He swallows the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believes he that it is the sound of the trumpet.Select Job 39:24

25He says among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smells the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.Select Job 39:25

26Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?Select Job 39:26

27Does the eagle mount up at your command, and make her nest on high?Select Job 39:27

28She dwells and stays on the rock, on the crag of the rock, and the strong place.Select Job 39:28

29From there she seeks the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.Select Job 39:29

30Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.Select Job 39:30
