039:001

Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth

039:002

They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows

039:003

Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them

039:004

Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass

039:005

Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings

039:006

He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver

039:007

The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing

039:008

Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib

039:009

Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee

039:010

Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him

039:011

Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn

039:012

Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich

039:013

Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust

039:014

And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them

039:015

She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not her's: her labour is in vain without fear

039:016

Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding

039:017

What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider

039:018

Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder

039:019

Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible

039:020

He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men

039:021

He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword

039:022

The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield

039:023

He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet

039:024

He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting

039:025

Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south

039:026

Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high

039:027

She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place

039:028

039:029

Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she
