Job 39:5-12

5Who let the wild donkey go free? Who released the bonds of the donkey,

6to whom I appointed the steppe for its home, the salt wastes as its dwelling place?

7It scorns the tumult in the town; it does not hear the shouts of a driver.

8It ranges the hills as its pasture, and searches after every green plant.

9Is the wild ox willing to be your servant? Will it spend the night at your feeding trough?

10Can you bind the wild ox to a furrow with its rope, will it till the valleys, following after you?

11Will you rely on it because its strength is great? Will you commit your labor to it?

12Can you count on it to bring in your grain, and gather the grain to your threshing floor?
