\b
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 1 Do you know at what time the wild goats in the rocks bear their young?
|
|
\q Can you watch when the deer are having their fawns?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 2 Can you count the months that they gestate?
|
|
\q Do you know the time when they bear their young?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 3 They crouch down and birth their young,
|
|
\q and then they finish their labor pains.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 4 Their young ones become strong and grow up in the open fields;
|
|
\q they go out and do not come back again.
|
|
\b

|

|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 5 Who let the wild donkey go free?
|
|
\q Who has untied the bonds of the swift donkey,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 6 whose home I have made in the Arabah,
|
|
\q his house in the salt land?
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 7 He laughs in scorn at the noises in the city;
|
|
\q he does not hear the driver's shouts.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 8 He roams over the mountains as his pastures;
|
|
\q there he looks for every green plant to eat.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 9 Will the wild ox be happy to serve you?
|
|
\q Will he consent to stay by your manger?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 10 With a rope, can you control the wild ox to plow the furrows?
|
|
\q Will he harrow the valleys for you?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 11 Will you trust him because his strength is great?
|
|
\q Will you leave your work to him to do?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 12 Will you depend on him to bring your grain home,
|
|
\q to gather the grain for your threshing floor?
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 13 The wings of the ostrich wave proudly,
|
|
\q but are they the pinions and plumage of love?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 14 For she leaves her eggs on the earth,
|
|
\q and she lets them keep warm in the dust;
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 15 she forgets that a foot might crush them
|
|
\q or that a wild beast might trample them.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 16 She deals roughly with her young ones as if they were not hers;
|
|
\q she does not fear that her labor might have been in vain,
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 17 because God has deprived her of wisdom
|
|
\q and has not given her any understanding.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 18 When she runs swiftly,
|
|
\q she laughs in scorn at the horse and its rider.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 19 Have you given the horse his strength?
|
|
\q Did you clothe his neck with his flowing mane?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 20 Have you ever made him jump like a locust?
|
|
\q The majesty of his snorting is fearsome.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 21 He paws in might and rejoices in his strength;
|
|
\q he rushes out to meet the weapons.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 22 He mocks fear and is not dismayed;
|
|
\q he does not turn back from the sword.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 23 The quiver rattles against his flank,
|
|
\q along with the flashing spear and the javelin.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 24 He swallows up ground with fierceness and rage;
|
|
\q at the trumpet's sound, he cannot stand in one place.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 25 Whenever the trumpet sounds, he says, 'Aha!'
|
|
\q He smells the battle from far away—
|
|
\q the thunderous shouts of the commanders and the outcries.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 26 Is it by your wisdom that the hawk soars,
|
|
\q that he stretches out his wings for the south?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 27 Is it at your orders that the eagle mounts up
|
|
\q and makes his nest in high places?
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 28 He lives on cliffs and makes his home
|
|
\q on the peaks of cliffs, a stronghold.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 29 From there he searches for victims;
|
|
\q his eyes see them from very far away.
|
|
\q
|
|
\v 30 His young also drink up blood;
|
|
\q where killed people are, there he is."
