Job 39 ASV — Job 39

1 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? [Or] canst thou mark when the hinds do calve? ASV — Job 39:1

2 Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? Or knowest thou the time when they bring forth? ASV — Job 39:2

3 They bow themselves, they bring forth their young, They cast out their pains. ASV — Job 39:3

4 Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field; They go forth, and return not again. ASV — Job 39:4

5 Who hath sent out the wild ass free? Or who hath loosed the bonds of the swift ass, ASV — Job 39:5

6 Whose home I have made the wilderness, And the salt land his dwelling-place? ASV — Job 39:6

7 He scorneth the tumult of the city, Neither heareth he the shoutings of the driver. ASV — Job 39:7

8 The range of the mountains is his pasture, And he searcheth after every green thing. ASV — Job 39:8

9 Will the wild-ox be content to serve thee? Or will he abide by thy crib? ASV — Job 39:9

10 Canst thou bind the wild-ox with his band in the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys after thee? ASV — Job 39:10

11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? Or wilt thou leave to him thy labor? ASV — Job 39:11

12 Wilt thou confide in him, that he will bring home thy seed, And gather [the grain] of thy threshing-floor? ASV — Job 39:12

13 The wings of the ostrich wave proudly; [But] are they the pinions and plumage of love? ASV — Job 39:13

14 For she leaveth her eggs on the earth, And warmeth them in the dust, ASV — Job 39:14

15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, Or that the wild beast may trample them. ASV — Job 39:15

16 She dealeth hardly with her young ones, as if they were not hers: Though her labor be in vain, [she is] without fear; ASV — Job 39:16

17 Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, Neither hath he imparted to her understanding. ASV — Job 39:17

18 What time she lifteth up herself on high, She scorneth the horse and his rider. ASV — Job 39:18

19 Hast thou given the horse [his] might? Hast thou clothed his neck with the quivering mane? ASV — Job 39:19

20 Hast thou made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his snorting is terrible. ASV — Job 39:20

21 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: He goeth out to meet the armed men. ASV — Job 39:21

22 He mocketh at fear, and is not dismayed; Neither turneth he back from the sword. ASV — Job 39:22

23 The quiver rattleth against him, The flashing spear and the javelin. ASV — Job 39:23

24 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage; Neither believeth he that it is the voice of the trumpet. ASV — Job 39:24

25 As oft as the trumpet [soundeth] he saith, Aha! And he smelleth the battle afar off, The thunder of the captains, and the shouting. ASV — Job 39:25

26 Is it by thy wisdom that the hawk soareth, (And) stretcheth her wings toward the south? ASV — Job 39:26

27 Is it at thy command that the eagle mounteth up, And maketh her nest on high? ASV — Job 39:27

28 On the cliff she dwelleth, and maketh her home, Upon the point of the cliff, and the stronghold. ASV — Job 39:28

29 From thence she spieth out the prey; Her eyes behold it afar off. ASV — Job 39:29

30 Her young ones also suck up blood: And where the slain are, there is she. ASV — Job 39:30
