27 Job 39:1

27 Job 39:1-29 ¹Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve? ²Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou 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 liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them. ⁵Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass? ⁶Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings. ⁷He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver. ⁸The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing. ⁹Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? ¹⁰Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? ¹¹Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him? ¹²Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn? ¹³Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich? ¹⁴Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust, ¹⁵And forgetteth 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 hers: her labour is in vain without fear; ¹⁷Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding. ¹⁸What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider. ¹⁹Hath thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? ²⁰Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible. ²¹He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men. ²²He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword. ²³The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield. ²⁴He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet. ²⁵He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. ²⁶Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south? ²⁷Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high? ²⁸She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place. ²⁹From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off. (KJV)

27 Job 39:1-29 ¹Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve? ²Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth? ³They bow themselves, they bring forth their young 1s, they cast out their sorrows. ⁴Their young 1s are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them. ⁵Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass? ⁶Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings. ⁷He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver. ⁸The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing. ⁹Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? ¹⁰Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? ¹¹Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him? ¹²Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn? ¹³Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich? ¹⁴Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust, ¹⁵And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them. ¹⁶She is hardened against her young 1s, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear; ¹⁷Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding. ¹⁸What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider. ¹⁹Hath thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? ²⁰Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible. ²¹He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men. ²²He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword. ²³The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield. ²⁴He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet. ²⁵He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. ²⁶Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south? ²⁷Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high? ²⁸She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place. ²⁹From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off. (KJV/NC)

27 Job 39:1-29 ¹Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth?

Or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?

²Canst thou number the months that they fulfil?

Or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?

³They bow themselves, they bring forth their young,

They cast out their pains.

⁴Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field;

They go forth, and return not again.

⁵Who hath sent out the wild ass free?

Or who hath loosed the bonds of the swift ass,

⁶Whose home I have made the wilderness,

And the salt land his dwelling-place?

⁷He scorneth the tumult of the city,

Neither heareth he the shoutings of the driver.

⁸The range of the mountains is his pasture,

And he searcheth after every green thing.

⁹Will the wild-ox be content to serve thee?

Or will he abide by thy crib?

¹⁰Canst thou bind the wild-ox with his band in the furrow?

Or will he harrow the valleys after thee?

¹¹Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great?

Or wilt thou leave to him thy labor?

¹²Wilt thou confide in him, that he will bring home thy seed,

And gather the grain of thy threshing-floor?

¹³The wings of the ostrich wave proudly;

But are they the pinions and plumage of love?

¹⁴For she leaveth her eggs on the earth,

And warmeth them in the dust,

¹⁵And forgetteth that the foot may crush them,

Or that the wild beast may trample them.

¹⁶She dealeth hardly with her young ones, as if they were not hers:

Though her labor be in vain, she is without fear;

¹⁷Because God hath deprived her of wisdom,

Neither hath he imparted to her understanding.

¹⁸What time she lifteth up herself on high,

She scorneth the horse and his rider.

¹⁹Hast thou given the horse his might?

Hast thou clothed his neck with the quivering mane?

²⁰Hast thou made him to leap as a locust?

The glory of his snorting is terrible.

²¹He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength:

He goeth out to meet the armed men.

²²He mocketh at fear, and is not dismayed;

Neither turneth he back from the sword.

²³The quiver rattleth against him,

The flashing spear and the javelin.

²⁴He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage;

Neither believeth he that it is the voice of the trumpet.

²⁵As oft as the trumpet soundeth he saith, Aha!

And he smelleth the battle afar off,

The thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

²⁶Is it by thy wisdom that the hawk soareth,

(And) stretcheth her wings toward the south?

²⁷Is it at thy command that the eagle mounteth up,

And maketh her nest on high?

²⁸On the cliff she dwelleth, and maketh her home,

Upon the point of the cliff, and the stronghold.

²⁹From thence she spieth out the prey;(ASV)

27 Job 39:1-29 ¹DO you know the time when wild goats bring forth in the steep rocks? Or can you watch the calving of hinds? ²Can you number the months that they fulfill, and know the time when they bring forth? ³And do you know when they kneel and bring forth their young ones? ⁴They bring up their young ones, until they grow up and are weaned. ⁵Who has left the wild ass to be free, and made him to escape the yoke? ⁶For he has made the plain his house, and the salt land his dwelling place. ⁷He scorns the multitude of cities, and is not afraid of the voice of rulers. ⁸The tops of mountains are his pasture, and he treads over every green thing. ⁹Will the unicorn be willing to serve you, or will he spend the night at your crib? ¹⁰Can you bind the yoke on the neck of the unicorn? Or will he harrow in a rugged place? ¹¹Will you have confidence in him, because his strength is great? Or will you leave your labor to him? ¹²Do you trust him, that he will winnow your threshing and gather your grain into the barn?

¹³¶ The ostrich rouses herself up haughtily; then she comes and makes her nest; ¹⁴But she leaves her eggs in the earth to be warmed on the ground. ¹⁵And because she has the feet of a bird, forgets that the wild beast may trample them. ¹⁶She multiplies her young ones, though they do not stay with her; although her labor is in vain, she has no fear: ¹⁷God has increased wisdom, but he has not given her a portion of it. ¹⁸She raises herself high like a palm tree; she laughs at the horse and his rider.

¹⁹¶ Have you given the horse strength? Have you clothed his neck with armour? ²⁰Can you make him move like the locust? Or can you make him afraid? ²¹He paws in the plain, and rejoices in the valley; he goes forth armed to the battle. ²²He laughs at a pit, and is not frightened; neither does he turn back from the sword. ²³The quiver rattles against him, the glittering spear and the lance. ²⁴He gallops with rage that makes the ground to tremble, nor does he fear the sound of the trumpet. ²⁵He makes the sound, Aha, aha; and he smells the battle from afar; he terrifies the officers with his neighing.

²⁶¶ Is it by your wisdom that the hawk was created and wings his way toward the south? ²⁷Does the eagle soar at your command, and make his nest in steep rocks? ²⁸He dwells and lodges on the rock, upon the cliff of the precipice. ²⁹He is sustained by his prey, his eyes behold afar off. (LAM)

27 Job 39:1-29 ¹"Do you know when the mountain goats bring forth? Do you observe the calving of the hinds? ²Can you number the months that they fulfil, and do you know the time when they bring forth, ³when they crouch, bring forth their offspring, and are delivered of their young? ⁴Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open; they go forth, and do not return to them. ⁵"Who has let the wild ass go free? Who has loosed the bonds of the swift ass, ⁶to whom I have given the steppe for his home, and the salt land for his dwelling place? ⁷He scorns the tumult of the city; he hears not the shouts of the driver. ⁸He ranges the mountains as his pasture, and he searches after every green thing. ⁹"Is the wild ox willing to serve you? Will he spend the night at your crib? ¹⁰Can you bind him in the furrow with ropes, or will he harrow the valleys after you? ¹¹Will you depend on him because his strength is great, and will you leave to him your labor? ¹²Do you have faith in him that he will return, and bring your grain to your threshing floor? ¹³"The wings of the ostrich wave proudly; but are they the pinions and plumage of love? ¹⁴For she leaves her eggs to the earth, and lets them be warmed on the ground, ¹⁵forgetting that a foot may crush them, and that the wild beast may trample them. ¹⁶She deals cruelly with her young, as if they were not hers; though her labor be in vain, yet she has no fear; ¹⁷because God has made her forget wisdom, and given her no share in understanding. ¹⁸When she rouses herself to flee, she laughs at the horse and his rider. ¹⁹"Do you give the horse his might? Do you clothe his neck with strength? ²⁰Do you make him leap like the locust? His majestic snorting is terrible. ²¹He paws in the valley, and exults in his strength; he goes out to meet the weapons. ²²He laughs at fear, and is not dismayed; he does not turn back from the sword. ²³Upon him rattle the quiver, the flashing spear and the javelin. ²⁴With fierceness and rage he swallows the ground; he cannot stand still at the sound of the trumpet. ²⁵When the trumpet sounds, he says `trumpet sounds, he says "Aha!' He smells the battle from afar, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. ²⁶"Is it by your wisdom that the hawk soars, and spreads his wings toward the south? ²⁷Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up and makes his nest on high? ²⁸On the rock he dwells and makes his home in the fastness of the rocky crag. ²⁹Thence he spies out the prey; his eyes behold it afar off. (RSV)

27 Job 39:1-29 ¹"Do you know when the mountain goats give birth? Do you watch when the doe bears her fawn? ²Do you count the months till they bear? Do you know the time they give birth? ³They crouch down and bring forth their young; their labor pains are ended. ⁴Their young thrive and grow strong in the wilds; they leave and do not return. ⁵"Who let the wild donkey go free? Who untied his ropes? ⁶I gave him the wasteland as his home, the salt flats as his habitat. ⁷He laughs at the commotion in the town; he does not hear a driver's shout. ⁸He ranges the hills for his pasture and searches for any green thing. ⁹"Will the wild ox consent to serve you? Will he stay by your manger at night? ¹⁰Can you hold him to the furrow with a harness? Will he till the valleys behind you? ¹¹Will you rely on him for his great strength? Will you leave your heavy work to him? ¹²Can you trust him to bring in your grain and gather it to your threshing floor? ¹³"The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully, but they cannot compare with the pinions and feathers of the stork. ¹⁴She lays her eggs on the ground and lets them warm in the sand, ¹⁵unmindful that a foot may crush them, that some wild animal may trample them. ¹⁶She treats her young harshly, as if they were not hers; she cares not that her labor was in vain, ¹⁷for God did not endow her with wisdom or give her a share of good sense. ¹⁸Yet when she spreads her feathers to run, she laughs at horse and rider. ¹⁹"Do you give the horse his strength or clothe his neck with a flowing mane? ²⁰Do you make him leap like a locust, striking terror with his proud snorting? ²¹He paws fiercely, rejoicing in his strength, and charges into the fray. ²²He laughs at fear, afraid of nothing; he does not shy away from the sword. ²³The quiver rattles against his side, along with the flashing spear and lance. ²⁴In frenzied excitement he eats up the ground; he cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds. ²⁵At the blast of the trumpet he snorts, `Aha!' He catches the scent of battle from afar, the shout of commanders and the battle cry. ²⁶"Does the hawk take flight by your wisdom and spread his wings toward the south? ²⁷Does the eagle soar at your command and build his nest on high? ²⁸He dwells on a cliff and stays there at night; a rocky crag is his stronghold. ²⁹From there he seeks out his food; his eyes detect it from afar. (NIV)
