# Job 39 [[Job 38|←]] • [[Job 40|→]] --- ### 1 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? canst thou mark when the hinds do calve? ### 2 Canst thou number the months 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 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 great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him? ### 12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather thy barn? ### 13 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 not hers: 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 terrible. ### 21 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in 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 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, 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, her eyes behold afar off. ### 30 Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain there she.
