Do you know how long they carry their young? Do you know the time for their birth? |

Who gave the wild donkeys their freedom? Who turned them loose and let them roam? |

They keep far away from the noisy cities, and no one can tame them and make them work. |
8
|
The mountains are the pastures where they feed, where they search for anything green to eat. |

|
Will a wild ox work for you? Is he willing to spend the night in your stable? |
10

How fast the wings of an ostrich beat! But no ostrich can fly like a stork. |
14
|
The ostrich leaves her eggs on the ground for the heat in the soil to warm them. |
15
|
She is unaware that a foot may crush them or a wild animal break them. |
16

26
|
Does a hawk learn from you how to fly when it spreads its wings toward the south? |

|
Does an eagle wait for your command to build its nest high in the mountains? |
28
|
It makes its home on the highest rocks and makes the sharp peaks its fortress. |
29
|
From there it watches near and far for something to kill and eat. |
30
|
Around dead bodies the eagles gather, and the young eagles drink the blood. |
