Job 39
Big screen- 1Know you the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or can you mark when the hinds do calve?
- 2Can you number the months that they fulfill? or know you the time when they bring forth?
- 3They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.
- 4Their young ones are in good looking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them.
- 5Who has sent out the wild ass free? or who has loosed the bands of the wild ass?
- 6Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.
- 7He scorns the multitude of the city, neither regards he the crying of the driver.
- 8The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searches after every green thing.
- 9Will the unicorn be willing to serve you, or abide by your crib?
- 10Can you bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after you?
- 11Will you trust him, because his strength is great? or will you leave your labour to him?
- 12Will you believe him, that he will bring home your seed, and gather it into your barn?
- 13Gave you the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?
- 14Which left her eggs in the earth, and warms them in dust,
- 15And forgets that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
- 16She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not her's: her labour is in vain without fear;
- 17Because God has deprived her of wisdom, neither has he imparted to her understanding.
- 18What time she lifts up herself on high, she scorns the horse and his rider.
- 19Have you given the horse strength? have you clothed his neck with thunder?
- 20Can you make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
- 21He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength: he goes on to meet the armed men.
- 22He mocks at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turns he back from the sword.
- 23The quiver rattles against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
- 24He swallows the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believes he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
- 25He says among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smells the battle far off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
- 26Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?
- 27Does the eagle mount up at your command, and make her nest on high?
- 28She dwells and abides on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.
- 29From thence she seeks the prey, and her eyes behold far off.
- 30Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.
