Job 39:13-18

13“The ostriches’ wings flap joyously With the pinion and plumage of 1love,14For she abandons her eggs to the earth And warms them in the dust,15And she forgets that a foot may crush 2them, Or that a wild beast may trample 3them.16She treats her young 4cruelly, as if they were not hers; Though her labor be in vain, she is 5unconcerned;17Because God has made her forget wisdom, And has not given her a share of understanding.18When she lifts herself 6on high, She laughs at the horse and his rider.
