¹ Whether thou knowest the time of [the] birth of wild goats in stones, either hast thou espied hinds bringing forth calves?

² Hast thou numbered the months of their conceiving, and hast thou known the time of their calving?

³ They be bowed down to [the] calf, and so calve; and they send out then roarings.

⁴ Their calves be separated from them, and go forth to pasture; they go out, and they turn not again to their mothers.

⁵ Who hath let the wild ass go free, and who hath loosed the bonds of him?

⁶ To whom I have given an house in wilderness, and the tabernacles of him in the land of saltness.

⁷ He despiseth the multitude of the city; he heareth not the cry of the asker.

⁸ He looketh about the hills of his pasture, and he seeketh all green things.

⁹ Whether an unicorn shall desire to serve thee, either shall dwell at thy cratch?

¹⁰ Whether thou shalt bind the unicorn with thy chain, for to ear thy land, either shall he break the clots of the valleys after thee?

¹¹ Whether thou shalt have trust in his great strength, and shalt thou leave to him thy travails?

¹² Whether thou shalt believe to him, that he shall yield seed to thee, and shall gather together for thy cornfloor?

¹³ The feather of an ostrich is like the feathers of a gyrfalcon, and of an hawk;

¹⁴ the which ostrich forsaketh his eggs in the earth, in hap thou shalt make those [or them] hot in the dust.

¹⁵ He forgetteth, that a foot treadeth those eggs, either that a beast of the field all-breaketh them.

¹⁶ He is made hard to his young, as if they were not his; he travailed in vain, while no dread constrained him.

¹⁷ For God hath deprived him from wisdom, and he hath not given under-standing to him.

¹⁸ When time is, he raiseth the wings on high; he scorneth the horse, and his rider.

¹⁹ Whether thou shalt give strength to an horse, either shalt give neighing about his neck?

²⁰ Whether thou shalt raise him as locusts? The glory of his nostrils is dreaded.

²¹ He diggeth [the] earth with his foot, he full out joyeth; and he goeth boldly against [the] armed men.

²² He despiseth fearedfulness, and he giveth not stead to [the] sword.

²³ An arrow case shall sound upon him; a spear and a shield shall shine.

²⁴ He is hot, or fervent, and gnasheth, and swalloweth the earth; and he areckoneth not that the cry of the trump soundeth.

²⁵ When he heareth a clarion, he saith, Joy! he smelleth battle afar; the exciting of dukes, and the yelling of the host.

²⁶ Whether an hawk spreading abroad his wings to the south, beginneth to have feathers by thy wisdom?

²⁷ Whether an eagle shall be raised up at thy commandment, and shall set [or put] his nest in high places?

²⁸ He dwelleth in stones, and he abideth in flints broken before, and in rocks, to which men may not nigh.

²⁹ From thence he beholdeth meat and his eyes look from [a] far.

³⁰ His young suck blood, and wherever a carrion is, anon he is present.
