NIV

1 Hast thou known the time of The bearing of the wild goats of the rock? The bringing forth of hinds thou dost mark!
1 “Do you know when the mountain goats give birth? Do you watch when the doe bears her fawn?
2 Thou dost number the months they fulfil? And thou hast known the time of their bringing forth!
2 Do you count the months till they bear? Do you know the time they give birth?
3 They bow down, Their young ones they bring forth safely, Their pangs they cast forth.
3 They crouch down and bring forth their young; their labor pains are ended.
4 Safe are their young ones, They grow up in the field, they have gone out, And have not returned to them.
4 Their young thrive and grow strong in the wilds; they leave and do not return.

10 Can you hold it to the furrow with a harness? Will it till the valleys behind you?

11 Will you rely on it for its great strength? Will you leave your heavy work to it?
12 Dost thou trust in him That he doth bring back thy seed? And [to] thy threshing-floor doth gather [it]?
12 Can you trust it to haul in your grain and bring it to your threshing floor?
13 The wing of the rattling ones exulteth, Whether the pinion of the ostrich or hawk.

14 For she leaveth on the earth her eggs, And on the dust she doth warm them,
14 She lays her eggs on the ground and lets them warm in the sand,

15 unmindful that a foot may crush them, that some wild animal may trample them.
16 Her young ones it hath hardened without her, In vain [is] her labour without fear.
16 She treats her young harshly, as if they were not hers; she cares not that her labor was in vain,
17 For God hath caused her to forget wisdom, And He hath not given a portion To her in understanding:
17 for God did not endow her with wisdom or give her a share of good sense.
18 At the time on high she lifteth herself up, She laugheth at the horse and at his rider.
18 Yet when she spreads her feathers to run, she laughs at horse and rider.

19 “Do you give the horse its strength or clothe its neck with a flowing mane?
20 Dost thou cause him to rush as a locust? The majesty of his snorting [is] terrible.
20 Do you make it leap like a locust, striking terror with its proud snorting?
21 They dig in a valley, and he rejoiceth in power, He goeth forth to meet the armour.
21 It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength, and charges into the fray.
22 He laugheth at fear, and is not affrighted, And he turneth not back from the face of the sword.
22 It laughs at fear, afraid of nothing; it does not shy away from the sword.
23 Against him rattle doth quiver, The flame of a spear, and a halbert.
23 The quiver rattles against its side, along with the flashing spear and lance.
24 With trembling and rage he swalloweth the ground, And remaineth not stedfast Because of the sound of a trumpet.
24 In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground; it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.

25 At the blast of the trumpet it snorts, ‘Aha!’ It catches the scent of battle from afar, the shout of commanders and the battle cry.

28 It dwells on a cliff and stays there at night; a rocky crag is its stronghold.
29 From thence he hath sought food, To a far off place his eyes look attentively,
29 From there it looks for food; its eyes detect it from afar.
30 And his brood gulph up blood, And where the pierced [are] -- there [is] he!
30 Its young ones feast on blood, and where the slain are, there it is.”
