Chapter 39

¹Do you know when the mountain goats give birth? Do you observe the calving of the does? ²Can you number the months that they fulfill, and do you know the time when they give birth? ³They crouch, they bring forth their offspring; they cast out their birth pangs. ⁴Their 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, ⁶to whom I have given the steppe for his home and the salt land for his dwelling place? ⁷He scorns the tumult of the city; he hears not the shouts of the driver. ⁸He 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? ¹⁰Can you bind him in the furrow with ropes, or will he harrow the valleys after you? ¹¹Will you depend on him because his strength is great, or will you leave to him your labor? ¹²Do you have faith in him that he will return your grain and gather it to your threshing floor? ¹³“The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully, but are her pinions and feathers those of love? ¹⁴For she leaves her eggs to the earth and lets them warm themselves in the dust, ¹⁵forgetting that a foot may crush them and that a wild beast may trample them. ¹⁶She deals cruelly with her young, as if they were not hers; though her labor be in vain, yet she has no fear, ¹⁷because God has made her forget wisdom and has not imparted to her understanding. ¹⁸When 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? ²⁰Do you make him leap like the locust? His majestic snorting is terrifying. ²¹He paws in the valley and exults in his strength; he goes out to meet the weapons. ²²He laughs at fear and is not dismayed; he does not turn back from the sword. ²³Upon him rattle the quiver, the flashing spear, and the javelin. ²⁴With fierceness and rage he swallows the ground; he cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds. ²⁵When 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? ²⁷Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up and makes her nest on high? ²⁸On the rock she dwells and makes her home, on the rocky crag and the stronghold. ²⁹From there she spies out the prey; her eyes behold it from afar. ³⁰Her young ones suck up blood, and where the slain are, there is she.”
