en_cepher - Job 39 - Ozzuu Bible

¹ KNOW you the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or can you mark when the hinds do calve?

² Can you number the months that they fulfil? or know you the time when they bring forth?

³ They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.

⁴ Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with grain; they go forth, and return not unto them.

⁵ Who has sent out the wild ass free? or who has loosed the bands of the wild ass?

⁶ Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.

⁷ He scorns the multitude of the city, neither regards he the crying of the driver.

⁸ The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searches after every green thing.

⁹ Will the unicorn be willing to serve you, or abide by your crib?

¹⁰ Can you bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after you?

¹¹ Will you trust him, because his strength is great? or will you leave your labor to him?

¹² Will you believe him, that he will bring home your seed, and gather it into your barn?

¹³ Gave you the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?

¹⁴ Which leaves her eggs in the earth, and warms them in dust,

¹⁵ And forgets that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.

¹⁶ She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labor is in vain without fear;

¹⁷ Because Eloah has deprived her of wisdom, neither has he imparted to her understanding.

¹⁸ What time she lifts up herself on high, she scorns the horse and his rider.

¹⁹ Have you given the horse strength? have you clothed his neck with thunder?

²⁰ Can you make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.

²¹ He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength: he goes on to meet the armed men.

²² He mocks at fear, and is not frightened; neither turns he back from the sword.

²³ The quiver rattles against him, the glittering spear and the shield.

²⁴ He swallows the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believes he that it is the sound of the shofar.

²⁵ He says among the shofars, Ha, ha; and he smells the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

²⁶ Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?

²⁷ Does the eagle mount up at your command, and make her nest on high?

²⁸ She dwells and abides on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.

²⁹ From thence she seeks the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.

³⁰ Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.
