Chapter 39 | |
1 | Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve? |
2 | Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth? |
3 | They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows. |
4 | Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them. |
5 | Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass? |
6 | Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings. |
7 | He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver. |
8 | The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing. |
9 | Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? |
10 | Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? |
11 | Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him? |
12 | Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn? |
13 | Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich? |
14 | Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust, |
15 | And forgetteth that the 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 her's: her labour is in vain without fear; |
17 | Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding. |
18 | What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider. |
19 | Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? |
20 | Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible. |
21 | He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men. |
22 |
He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword. |
23 | The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield. |
24 | He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet. |
25 | He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. |
26 | Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south? |
27 | Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high? |
28 | She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place. |
29 | From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off. |
30 | Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she. |
