Job 39

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 "Do you know the time when the mountain goats give birth? Do you watch the does when they are in labor?

2 Can you count the months they are pregnant or know the time when they'll give birth?

3 They kneel down to give birth and deliver their young. Then the pain of giving birth is over.

4 Their young are healthy and grow up in the wild. They leave and don't come back.

5 "Who lets the wild donkey go free? Who unties the ropes of the wild donkey?

6 I gave it the desert to live in and the salt flats as its dwelling place.

7 It laughs at the noise of the city and doesn't [even] listen to the shouting of its master.

8 It explores the mountains for its pasture and looks for anything green.

9 "Will the wild ox agree to serve you, or will it stay at night beside your feeding trough?

10 Can you guide a wild ox in a furrow, or will it plow the valleys behind you?

11 Can you trust it just because it's so strong or leave your labor to it?

12 Can you rely on it to bring your grain back and take it to your threshing floor?

13 "Does the ostrich flap its wings in joy, or do its wings lack feathers?

14 It lays its eggs on the ground and warms them in the dust.

15 It forgets that a foot may crush them or a wild animal may trample them.

16 It acts harshly toward its young as if they weren't its own. It is not afraid that its work is for nothing

17 because God has deprived it of wisdom and did not give it any understanding.

18 It laughs at the horse and its rider when it gets up to flee.

19 "Can you give strength to a horse or dress its neck with a flowing mane?

20 Can you make it leap like a locust, when its snorting causes terror?

21 It paws in strength and finds joy in its power. It charges into battle.

22 It laughs at fear, is afraid of nothing, and doesn't back away from swords.

23 A quiver of arrows rattles on it along with the flashing spear and javelin.

24 Anxious and excited, the horse eats up the ground and doesn't trust the sound of the ram's horn.

25 As often as the horn sounds, the horse says, 'Aha!' and it smells the battle far away-- the thundering [orders] of the captains and the battle cries.

26 "Does your understanding make a bird of prey fly and spread its wings toward the south?

27 Is it by your order that the eagle flies high and makes its nest on the heights?

28 It perches for the night on a cliff. Its fortress is on a jagged peak.

29 From there it seeks food, and its eyes see it from far away.

30 Its young ones feed on blood. It is found wherever there are dead bodies."

New King James Version NKJV

1 "Do you know the time when the wild mountain goats bear young? Or can you mark when the deer gives birth?

2 Can you number the months that they fulfill? Or do you know the time when they bear young?

3 They bow down, They bring forth their young, They deliver their offspring.

4 Their young ones are healthy, They grow strong with grain; They depart and do not return to them.

5 "Who set the wild donkey free? Who loosed the bonds of the onager,

6 Whose home I have made the wilderness, And the barren land his dwelling?

7 He scorns the tumult of the city; He does not heed the shouts of the driver.

8 The range of the mountains is his pasture, And he searches after every green thing.

9 "Will the wild ox be willing to serve you? Will he bed by your manger?

10 Can you bind the wild ox in the furrow with ropes? Or will he plow the valleys behind you?

11 Will you trust him because his strength is great? Or will you leave your labor to him?

12 Will you trust him to bring home your grain, And gather it to your threshing floor?

13 "The wings of the ostrich wave proudly, But are her wings and pinions like the kindly stork's?

14 For she leaves her eggs on the ground, And warms them in the dust;

15 She forgets that a foot may crush them, Or that a wild beast may break them.

16 She treats her young harshly, as though they were not hers; Her labor is in vain, without concern,

17 Because God deprived her of wisdom, And did not endow her with understanding.

18 When she lifts herself on high, She scorns the horse and its rider.

19 "Have you given the horse strength? Have you clothed his neck with thunder?

20 Can you frighten him like a locust? His majestic snorting strikes terror.

21 He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength; He gallops into the clash of arms.

22 He mocks at fear, and is not frightened; Nor does he turn back from the sword.

23 The quiver rattles against him, The glittering spear and javelin.

24 He devours the distance with fierceness and rage; Nor does he come to a halt because the trumpet has sounded.

25 At the blast of the trumpet he says, 'Aha!' He smells the battle from afar, The thunder of captains and shouting.

26 "Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, And spread its wings toward the south?

27 Does the eagle mount up at your command, And make its nest on high?

28 On the rocks it dwells and resides, On the crag of the rock and the stronghold.

29 From there it spies out the prey; Its eyes observe from afar.

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