39 “Job, can you tell when female mountain goats are about to give birth?
Have you watched the wild deer while their calves were being born?
2 Do you know for how long these female animals will be pregnant? Do you know when they will have their babies?
3 They crouch down to give birth,
and their babies come out.
4 The young animals grow up in the open fields.
Once they are strong enough to leave their mothers,
they do not return to them again.
5 Do you know why some donkeys wander around wild?
Do you know why they are not still working for people?
6 I have given them a home in the desert plain.
They are able to live in places where much grass does not grow.
7 These wild donkeys do not like the noise in the cities.
In the desert, they do not have to listen to the shouts of those who used to force them to work.
8 They wander over the hills to find food.
They look for any plant that they can eat.
9 There are also oxen that are wild.
You could not get one of those to work for you!
It would not stay penned up at night by the place where you put food for your animals!
10 You could not make a wild ox pull a plow
so that it would dig furrows in your fields.
11 Even though a wild ox is very strong,
you could not depend on it to do difficult farm work.
12 A wild ox would not help you
to grow more crops than you could grow by yourself.
13 Now think about ostriches.
They run very fast, flapping their wings as they go.
But they do not take good care of their offspring.
14 Female ostriches are bad mothers, because lay their eggs and leave them on the ground.
The eggs do stay warm in the sand.
15 But this is still not a good thing to do.
Some wild animal could step on the eggs and crush them.
16 Ostriches do not care well for their chicks.
They act as if the chicks do not belong to them.
They do not seem to be concerned that their chicks might die
and they would have laid their eggs for nothing.
17 Ostriches act this way because I did not give them good instincts.
I did not enable them to understand how they should care for their eggs and chicks.
18 However, ostriches are still awesome birds.
When they run, they can easily run faster than horses!
19 But I made horses to be very strong.
I put beautiful flowing manes on their necks.
20 I enabled them to leap through the air as if they were locusts.
They snort so loudly that they cause people to be afraid.
21 As horses prepare to rush into battle,
they paw the ground, showing off their great strength.
22 Horses seem to disregard danger as they go bravely into battle.
They do not run away when enemy soldiers attack them.
23 As horses run into battle,
the quivers containing their riders’ arrows rattle against their sides.
The spears and javelins that they are carrying flash in the sunlight.
24 Horses rush into battle as soon as an officer blows a horn to signal that the army should advance.
The horses run very quickly, and they speedily reach the enemy lines.
25 When they hear someone blow the battle horn, horses neigh excitedly.
They can smell a battle even from a distance.
They hear commanders shouting orders to their soldiers and they know the battle will begin soon.
26 Now think about birds that hunt small animals and other birds.
Do you know how hawks are able to stay in the air as if they were floating?
Do you know how they sense when it is time to fly to a warmer place for the winter?
27 I gave eagles the ability to fly high up into the cliffs and build their nests there.
28 Eagles live on cliffs.
They are safe among the high, pointed rocks there because no animals can get to them.
29 From that great height, eagles look for animals that they can kill and eat.
They can see animals that are far away.
30 Eagles kill small animals and bring them back to their nests to feed their chicks.
Eagles also go and eat dead bodies that they see lying on the ground.”
