| 39:1 | God Continues to Challenge Job "Do you know the time when the wild mountain goats bear young? Or can you mark when the deer gives birth? |
| 39:2 | Can you number the months that they fulfill? Or do you know the time when they bear young? |
| 39:3 | They bow down, They bring forth their young, They deliver their offspring. |
| 39:4 | Their young ones are healthy, They grow strong with grain; They depart and do not return to them. |
| 39:5 | Who set the wild donkey free? Who loosed the bonds of the onager, |
| 39:6 | Whose home I have made the wilderness, And the barren land his dwelling? |
| 39:7 | He scorns the tumult of the city; He does not heed the shouts of the driver. |
| 39:8 | The range of the mountains is his pasture, And he searches after every green thing. |
| 39:9 | Will the wild ox be willing to serve you? Will he bed by your manger? |
| 39:10 | Can you bind the wild ox in the furrow with ropes? Or will he plow the valleys behind you? |
| 39:11 | Will you trust him because his strength is great? Or will you leave your labor to him? |
| 39:12 | Will you trust him to bring home your grain, And gather it to your threshing floor? |
| 39:13 | The wings of the ostrich wave proudly, But are her wings and pinions like the kindly stork's? |
| 39:14 | For she leaves her eggs on the ground, And warms them in the dust; |
| 39:15 | She forgets that a foot may crush them, Or that a wild beast may break them. |
| 39:16 | She treats her young harshly, as though they were not hers; Her labor is in vain, without concern, |
| 39:17 | Because God deprived her of wisdom, And did not endow her with understanding. |
| 39:18 | When she lifts herself on high, She scorns the horse and its rider. |
| 39:19 | Have you given the horse strength? Have you clothed his neck with thunder? |
| 39:20 | Can you frighten him like a locust? His majestic snorting strikes terror. |
| 39:21 | He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength; He gallops into the clash of arms. |
| 39:22 | He mocks at fear, and is not frightened; Nor does he turn back from the sword. |
| 39:23 | The quiver rattles against him, The glittering spear and javelin. |
| 39:24 | He devours the distance with fierceness and rage; Nor does he come to a halt because the trumpet has sounded. |
| 39:25 | At the blast of the trumpet he says, "Aha!' He smells the battle from afar, The thunder of captains and shouting. |
| 39:26 | Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, And spread its wings toward the south? |
| 39:27 | Does the eagle mount up at your command, And make its nest on high? |
| 39:28 | On the rock it dwells and resides, On the crag of the rock and the stronghold. |
| 39:29 | From there it spies out the prey; Its eyes observe from afar. |
| 39:30 | Its young ones suck up blood; And where the slain are, there it is." |
