Job 39

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 "Do you know when mountain goats give birth? Have you seen deer in labor?

2 Can you tell how many months they carry their young? Do you know when they give birth,

3 when they crouch down and bring forth their young, when they deliver their fawns?

4 Their young become strong, growing up in the open; they leave and never return.

5 "Who lets the wild donkey roam freely? Who sets the wild donkey loose from its shackles?

6 I made the 'Aravah its home, the salty desert its place to live.

7 It scorns the noise of the city and hears no driver's shouts.

8 It ranges over the hills for its pasture, searching for anything green.

9 "Would a wild ox be willing to serve you? Would it stay by your stall?

10 Could you tie a rope around its neck and make it plow furrows for you?

11 Would you trust its great strength enough to let it do your heavy work,

12 or rely on it to bring home your seed and gather the grain from your threshing-floor?

13 "An ostrich's wings beat wildly, although its pinions lack plumage.

14 It leaves its eggs on the ground and lets them be warmed by the sand,

15 forgetting that a foot may crush them or a wild animal trample on them.

16 It treats its chicks heartlessly, as if they were not its own; even if her labor is in vain, it really doesn't care;

17 because God has deprived it of wisdom and given it no share in understanding.

18 When the time comes, it flaps its wings, scorning both horse and rider.

19 "Did you give the horse its strength? Did you clothe its neck with a mane?

20 Did you make him able to leap like a locust? Its majestic snorting is frightening!

21 It paws with force and exults with vigor, then charges into the battle;

22 mocking at fear, unafraid, it does not shy away from the sword.

23 The [rider's] quiver rattles over it, [his] gleaming spear and javelin.

24 Frenzied and eager, it devours the ground, scarcely believing the shofar has sounded.

25 At the sound of the shofar it whinnies; as from afar it scents the battle, the roar of the chiefs and the shouting.

26 "Is it your wisdom that sets the hawk soaring, spreading its wings toward the south?

27 Does the eagle fly up when you say so, to build its nest in the heights?

28 It lives and spends its nights on the cliffs; a rocky crag is its fortress.

29 From there it spots its prey, its eyes see it far off.

30 Its young ones suck up blood; wherever the slain are, there it is."

New Living Translation NLT

1 “Do you know when the wild goats give birth? Have you watched as deer are born in the wild?

2 Do you know how many months they carry their young? Are you aware of the time of their delivery?

3 They crouch down to give birth to their young and deliver their offspring.

4 Their young grow up in the open fields, then leave home and never return.

5 “Who gives the wild donkey its freedom? Who untied its ropes?

6 I have placed it in the wilderness; its home is the wasteland.

7 It hates the noise of the city and has no driver to shout at it.

8 The mountains are its pastureland, where it searches for every blade of grass.

9 “Will the wild ox consent to being tamed? Will it spend the night in your stall?

10 Can you hitch a wild ox to a plow? Will it plow a field for you?

11 Given its strength, can you trust it? Can you leave and trust the ox to do your work?

12 Can you rely on it to bring home your grain and deliver it to your threshing floor?

13 “The ostrich flaps her wings grandly, but they are no match for the feathers of the stork.

14 She lays her eggs on top of the earth, letting them be warmed in the dust.

15 She doesn’t worry that a foot might crush them or a wild animal might destroy them.

16 She is harsh toward her young, as if they were not her own. She doesn’t care if they die.

17 For God has deprived her of wisdom. He has given her no understanding.

18 But whenever she jumps up to run, she passes the swiftest horse with its rider.

19 “Have you given the horse its strength or clothed its neck with a flowing mane?

20 Did you give it the ability to leap like a locust? Its majestic snorting is terrifying!

21 It paws the earth and rejoices in its strength when it charges out to battle.

22 It laughs at fear and is unafraid. It does not run from the sword.

23 The arrows rattle against it, and the spear and javelin flash.

24 It paws the ground fiercely and rushes forward into battle when the ram’s horn blows.

25 It snorts at the sound of the horn. It senses the battle in the distance. It quivers at the captain’s commands and the noise of battle.

26 “Is it your wisdom that makes the hawk soar and spread its wings toward the south?

27 Is it at your command that the eagle rises to the heights to make its nest?

28 It lives on the cliffs, making its home on a distant, rocky crag.

29 From there it hunts its prey, keeping watch with piercing eyes.

30 Its young gulp down blood. Where there’s a carcass, there you’ll find it.”
