Job 39:1-7

Listen to Job 39:1-7
1 "Do you know the month when mountain goats give birth? Have you ever watched a doe bear her fawn?
2 Do you know how many months she is pregnant? Do you know the season of her delivery,
3 when she crouches down and drops her offspring?
4 Her young ones flourish and are soon on their own; they leave and don't come back.
5 "Who do you think set the wild donkey free, opened the corral gates and let him go?
6 I gave him the whole wilderness to roam in, the rolling plains and wide-open places.
7 He laughs at his city cousins, who are harnessed and harried. He's oblivious to the cries of teamsters.
