JOB C1 C2 C3 C4 C5 C6 C7 C8 C9 C10 C11 C12 C13 C14 C15 C16 C17 C18 C19 C20 C21 C22 C23 C24 C25 C26 C27 C28 C29 C30 C31 C32 C33 C34 C35 C36 C37 C38 C39 C40 C41 C42
39 Dost thou fix the birth-times of the wild goats,
Or watch o’er the calving of hinds?
2 Dost thou number the months they fulfil,
Or determine the time of their bearing?
3 They cower and bring forth their young,
Swiftly ridding themselves of their birth-pangs.
4 Their young one grow strong in the open,
Go forth and come back not again.
5 Who let out the wild ass free?
Who loosened the bonds of the wild ass,
6 Whose home I have made the steppe,
And the salt-land the place of his dwelling?
7 He laughs at the din of the city,
No driver roars in his ears.
8 The mountains he scours as his pasture,
And every green thing is his quest.
9 Will the wild ox be willing to serve thee,
Or spend the night in thy crib?
10 Wilt thou fasten a rope on his neck?
Will he harrow thy furrows behind thee?
11 Wilt thou trust his magnificent strength,
Or put him in charge of thy labours,
12 Expect him to come again
And gather thy seed to thy threshing-floor?
13 The wing of the ostrich beats joyously,
But her pinions and feathers are cruel.
14 For she trusteth her eggs to the ground,
And she setteth them down in the dust,
15 Forgetting that foot may crush them,
Or beast of the field tread upon them.
16 Her young she treats harshly, as strangers,
Unmoved though her toil be in vain.
17 For God hath not dealt to her wisdom,
Nor alloted to her understanding.
18 She scuddeth along in her flight,
At the horse and his rider she laugheth.
19 Dost thou give to the war-horse his strength,
Clothe his neck with the quivering mane?
20 Dost thou make him to leap like a locust,
With snort that is splendid and terrible?
21 He paweth the valley exulting,
As forth to the fight the fares.
22 He laughs undismayed at the terror,
He turneth not back from the sword.
23 Against him the quiver may rattle,
The glittering spear or the dart:
24 He devoureth the ground in wild rage,
Without turning to right hand or left.
25 At the trumpet alarm he saith "Ha!"
For he scenteth the battle afar,
The thunder of captains, the shouting.
26 Doth the hawk soar aloft by thy wisdom.
And spread out her wings to the south?
27 Doth the eagle mount up at thy bidding,
And make her nest high on the mountains?
28 The cliff is her home where she lodges–
The peak of the cliff and the fortress,
29 She spieth her prey from the heights
With those eyes that see from afar.
30 Her young ones suck up blood:
Where the slain are, there is she.
The Rebuke
