Job 39:15 Meaning and Commentary

Job 39:15

And forgetteth that the foot may crush them
The foot of the traveller, they being laid in the ground, where he may walk, or on the sand of the seashore, where he may tread and trample upon them unawares, and crush them to pieces; to prevent which this creature has no foresight;

or that the wild beast may break them;
supposing they may be, though not where men walk, yet where wild beasts frequent, they may be as easily broken by the one as the other; against which it guards not, having no instinct in nature, as some creatures have, to direct to the preservation of them.

Job 39:15 In-Context

13 "The ostrich flaps her wings futilely - all those beautiful feathers, but useless!

14 She lays her eggs on the hard ground, leaves them there in the dirt, exposed to the weather,

15 Not caring that they might get stepped on and cracked or trampled by some wild animal.

16 She's negligent with her young, as if they weren't even hers. She cares nothing about anything.

17 She wasn't created very smart, that's for sure, wasn't given her share of good sense.
