Job 39:5-12

5“Who lets the wild donkey go free? Who unties the ropes of the wild donkey?

6I gave it the desert to live in and the salt flats as its dwelling place.

7It laughs at the noise of the city and doesn’t ⌞even⌟ listen to the shouting of its master.

8It explores the mountains for its pasture and looks for anything green.

9“Will the wild ox agree to serve you, or will it stay at night beside your feeding trough?

10Can you guide a wild ox in a furrow, or will it plow the valleys behind you?

11Can you trust it just because it’s so strong or leave your labor to it?

12Can you rely on it to bring your grain back and take it to your threshing floor?
