"Do you know when the mountain goats give birth? Do you observe the calving of the does? |
2
|
Can you number the months that they fulfill, and do you know the time when they give birth, |
3
|
when they crouch, bring forth their offspring, and are delivered of their young? |
4
|
Their young ones become strong; they grow up in the open; they go out and do not return to them. |
5
|
"Who has let the wild donkey go free? Who has loosed the bonds of the swift donkey, |
6
|
to whom I have given the arid plain for his home and the salt land for his dwelling place? |
7
|
He scorns the tumult of the city; he hears not the shouts of the driver. |
8
|
He ranges the mountains as his pasture, and he searches after every green thing. |
9
|
"Is the wild ox willing to serve you? Will he spend the night at your manger? |
10
|
Can you bind him in the furrow with ropes, or will he harrow the valleys after you? |
11
|
Will you depend on him because his strength is great, and will you leave to him your labor? |
12
|
Do you have faith in him that he will return your grain and gather it to your threshing floor? |
13
|
"The wings of the ostrich wave proudly, but are they the pinions and plumage of love? |
14
|
For she leaves her eggs to the earth and lets them be warmed on the ground, |
15
|
forgetting that a foot may crush them and that the wild beast may trample them. |
16
|
She deals cruelly with her young, as if they were not hers; though her labor be in vain, yet she has no fear, |
17
|
because God has made her forget wisdom and given her no share in understanding. |
18
|
When she rouses herself to flee, she laughs at the horse and his rider. |
19
|
"Do you give the horse his might? Do you clothe his neck with a mane? |
20
|
Do you make him leap like the locust? His majestic snorting is terrifying. |
21
|
He paws in the valley and exults in his strength; he goes out to meet the weapons. |
22
|
He laughs at fear and is not dismayed; he does not turn back from the sword. |
23
|
Upon him rattle the quiver, the flashing spear and the javelin. |
24
|
With fierceness and rage he swallows the ground; he cannot stand still at the sound of the trumpet. |
25
|
When the trumpet sounds, he says 'Aha!' He smells the battle from afar, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. |
26
|
"Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars and spreads his wings toward the south? |
27
|
Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up and makes his nest on high? |
28
|
On the rock he dwells and makes his home, on the rocky crag and stronghold. |
29
|
From there he spies out the prey; his eyes behold it afar off. |
30
|
His young ones suck up blood, and where the slain are, there is he." |
