Job 39:13-18

13“The wings of the ostrich flap with joy, but are they the pinions and plumage of a stork?

14For she leaves her eggs on the ground, and lets them be warmed on the soil.

15She forgets that a foot might crush them, or that a wild animal might trample them.

16She is harsh with her young, as if they were not hers; she is unconcerned about the uselessness of her labor.

17For God deprived her of wisdom, and did not impart understanding to her.

18But as soon as she springs up, she laughs at the horse and its rider.
