Job 39:1-6

Listen to Job 39:1-6
1 Have you knowledge of the rock-goats? or do you see the roes giving birth to their young?
2 Is the number of their months fixed by you? or is the time when they give birth ordered by you?
3 They are bent down, they give birth to their young, they let loose the fruit of their body.
4 Their young ones are strong, living in the open country; they go out and do not come back again.
5 Who has let the ass of the fields go free? or made loose the bands of the loud-voiced beast?
6 To whom I have given the waste land for a heritage, and the salt land as a living-place.
