# Connecting Statement:
Yahweh continues to challenge Job.
# The wings of the ostrich ... pinions and plumage of love?
Yahweh uses this question to emphasize that Job cannot explain why ostriches behave the way they do. Alternate translation: "You do not know whether the pinions and plumage of the ostrich represent love when they wave their wings proudly." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
# ostrich
a very large bird that can run very fast but cannot fly
# wave proudly
"move with joy"
# pinions
the very long feathers on the wings of birds
# plumage
the smaller feathers that cover the body of a bird
# of love
The Hebrew word is uncertain. Possible meanings are 1) "of faithfulness" or 2) "of a stork." The name of the stork meant "the faithful one" or "the loving one" because people knew that storks take very good care of their chicks.
