Job 39
Revised Version 1895
1Knowest thou the time when the wildH3277 goatsH3277 of the rockH5553 bringH3205 forthH3205? or canst thou markH8104 when the hindsH355 doH8104 calve? 2Canst thou numberH5608 the monthsH3391 that they fulfillH4390? or knowest thou the time when they bringH3205 forthH3205? 3They bowH3766 themselves, they bringH3766 forthH7971 their youngH3206, they castH7971 outH7971 their sorrows. 4Their youngH1121 onesH1121 are in good liking, they growH2492 upH1121 in the open field; they goH3318 forthH3318, and returnH7725 notH3808 againH7725, 5Who hath sentH7971 outH7971 the wildH6501 ass freeH2670? or who hath loosed the bandsH4147 of the wildH6501 ass? 6WhoseH834 houseH1004 I have madeH7760 the wildernessH6160, and the saltH4420 landH4420 his dwellingH4908 placeH7760. 7He scorneth the tumultH1995 of the cityH7151, neitherH3808 heareth he the shoutingsH8663 of the driverH5065. 8The range of the mountainsH2022 is his pastureH4829, and he searcheth afterH310 everyH3605 greenH3387 thingH3387. 9Will the wild-ox be content to serveH5647 thee? or will he abide by thy crib? 10Canst thou bindH7194 the wild-ox with his band in the furrowH8525? or will he harrowH7702 the valleysH6010 afterH310 thee? 11Wilt thou trustH982 him, becauseH3588 his strengthH3581 is greatH7227? or wilt thou leaveH5800 to him thy labour? 12Wilt thou confide in him, that he will bringH7725 homeH7725 thy seedH2233, and gatherH622 the corn of thy threshingfloor? 13The wingH3671 of the ostrich rejoiceth, but are herH518 pinionsH84 and feathersH5133 kindly? 14For sheH3588 leaveth herH5921 eggsH1000 on the earthH776, and warmeth them in the dustH6083, 15And forgetteth that the footH7272 may crushH2115 them, or that the wildH7704 beastH2416 may trampleH1758 them. 16SheH3808 is hardened against herH7188 youngH1121 onesH1121, as ifH1121 they were notH3808 hers: though herH7188 labour be in vain, sheH3808 is withoutH3808 fearH6343; 17BecauseH3588 GodH433 hath deprivedH5382 herH3588 of wisdomH2451, neitherH3808 hath he imparted to herH3588 understandingH998. 18What time sheH4754 lifteth up herselfH4754 on highH4791, sheH4754 scorneth the horseH5483 and his riderH7392. 19Hast thou givenH5414 the horseH5483 his might? hast thou clothedH3847 his neckH6677 with the quivering maneH7483? 20Hast thou made him to leapH7493 as a locustH697? the gloryH1935 of his snorting is terribleH367. 21He paweth in the valleyH6010, and rejoiceth in his strengthH3581: he goeth outH3318 to meetH7125 the armed men. 22He mocketh at fearH6343, and is notH3808 dismayedH2865; neitherH3808 turneth he backH7725 from the swordH2719. 23The quiverH827 rattleth againstH5921 him, the flashingH3851 spearH2595 and the javelinH3591. 24He swalloweth the groundH776 with fierceness and rageH7267; neitherH3808 believeth he that it is the voiceH6963 of the trumpetH7782. 25As oft as the trumpetH7782 soundeth he saith, AhaH1889! and he smelleth the battleH4421 afarH7350 offH7350, the thunderH7482 of the captainsH8269, and the shoutingH8643. 26Doth the hawkH5322 soar by thy wisdom, and stretchH6566 herH6566 wingsH3671 towardH6566 the southH8486? 27Doth the eagleH5404 mount upH7311 at thy commandH6310, and makeH7311 herH5921 nestH7064 on highH7311? 28She dwelleth on the rockH5553, and hath herH5921 lodging there, uponH5921 the cragH8127 of the rockH5553, and the strong hold. 29From thence she spieth outH2658 the preyH400; her eyesH5869 beholdH5027 it afarH7350 offH7350. 30HerH1931 youngH667 onesH667 also suckH5966 upH5966 bloodH1818: and whereH834 the slainH2491 are, there is sheH1931.
