Hast thou known the time of The bearing of the wild goats of the rock? The bringing forth of hinds thou dost mark!
2
Thou dost number the months they fulfil? And thou hast known the time of their bringing forth!
3
They bow down, Their young ones they bring forth safely, Their pangs they cast forth.
4
Safe are their young ones, They grow up in the field, they have gone out, And have not returned to them.
5
Who hath sent forth the wild ass free? Yea, the bands of the wild ass who opened?
6
Whose house I have made the wilderness, And his dwellings the barren land,
7
He doth laugh at the multitude of a city, The cries of an exactor he heareth not.
8
The range of mountains [is] his pasture, And after every green thing he seeketh.
9
Is a Reem willing to serve thee? Doth he lodge by thy crib?
10
Dost thou bind a Reem in a furrow [with] his thick band? Doth he harrow valleys after thee?
11
Dost thou trust in him because great [is] his power? And dost thou leave unto him thy labour?
