1"Do you know the time when the mountain goats give birth? Do you watch when the doe bears fawns?¶ 2Can you number the months that they fulfill? 3They bow themselves, they bring forth their young, 4Their young ones become strong. 5"Who has set the wild donkey free? 6Whose home I have made the wilderness, 7He scorns the tumult of the city, 8The range of the mountains is his pasture, 9"Will the wild ox be content to serve you? 10Can you hold the wild ox in the furrow with his harness? 11Will you trust him, because his strength is great? 12Will you confide in him, that he will bring home your seed, 13"The wings of the ostrich wave proudly; 14For she leaves her eggs on the earth, 15and forgets that the foot may crush them, 16She deals harshly with her young ones, as if they were not hers. 17because God has deprived her of wisdom, 18When she lifts up herself on high, 19"Have you given the horse might? 20Have you made him to leap as a locust? 21He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength. 22He mocks at fear, and is not dismayed, 23The quiver rattles against him, 24He eats up the ground with fierceness and rage, 25As often as the trumpet sounds he snorts, 'Aha!' 26"Is it by your wisdom that the hawk soars, 27Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up, 28On the cliff he dwells, and makes his home, 29From there he spies out the prey. 30His young ones also suck up blood.
