✧Knowest 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? ✧13[Gavest 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. ✧19Hast 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. ✧30Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain [are], there [is] she.
