Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee or abide by thy crib?
10
Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? Will he harrow the valleys after thee?
11
Wilt thou trust him because his strength
is great? Or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
12
Wilt thou trust him, that he will bring home thy seed and gather
it into thy barn?
13
Didst thou give beautiful wings unto the peacock, or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?
14
Who leaves her eggs in the earth and warms them in dust
15
and forgets that the foot may crush them or that the wild beast may break them.
16
She is hardened against her young ones, as though
they were not hers, not fearing that her labour is in vain,
17
because God caused her to forget wisdom and did not give her understanding.
18
In her time she lifts up herself on high; she scorns the horse and his rider.
19
Hast thou given the horse strength? Hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
