Book 29 : KETUVIM - JOB - Chapter 039
39:001
Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring
forth? Or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve
39:002
Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? Or knowest
thou the time when they bring forth
39:003
They bow themselves, they bring forth their young, they
cast out their fruit
39:004
Their young ones wax strong, they grow up in the open
field; they go forth, and return not again
39:005
Who hath sent out the wild ass free? Or who hath loosed the
bands of the wild ass
39:006
Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the salt land
his dwelling-place
39:007
He scorneth the tumult of the city, neither heareth he the
shoutings of the driver
39:008
The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth
after every green thing
39:009
Will the wild-ox be willing to serve thee? Or will he abide
by thy crib
39:010
Canst thou bind the wild-ox with his band in the furrow?
Or will he harrow the valleys after thee
39:011
Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? Or
wilt thou leave thy labour to him
39:012
Wilt thou rely on him, that he will bring home thy seed,
and gather the corn of thy threshing-floor
39:013
The wing of the ostrich beateth joyously; but are her
pinions and feathers the kindly stork's
39:014
For she leaveth her eggs on the earth, and warmeth them in
dust
39:015
And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the
wild beast may trample them
39:016
She is hardened against her young ones, as if they were
not hers; though her labour be in vain, she is without fear
39:017
Because G-d hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath He
imparted to her understanding
39:018
When the time cometh, she raiseth her wings on high, and
scorneth the horse and his rider
39:019
Hast thou given the horse his strength? Hast thou clothed
his neck with fierceness
39:020
Hast thou made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his
snorting is terrible
39:021
He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength; he
goeth out to meet the clash of arms
39:022
He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth
he back from the sword
39:023
The quiver rattleth upon him, the glittering spear and the
javelin
39:024
He swalloweth the ground with storm and rage; neither
believeth he that it is the voice of the horn
39:025
As oft as he heareth the horn he saith: 'Ha, ha!' and he
smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting
39:026
Doth the hawk soar by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings
toward the south
39:027
Doth the vulture mount up at thy command, and make her
nest on high
39:028
She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the
rock, and the stronghold
39:029
From thence she spieth out the prey; her eyes behold it
afar off
39:030
Her young ones also suck up blood; and where the slain
are, there is she
