Job 39

King James Version KJV

1 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?

2 Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?

3 They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.

4 Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them.

5 Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?

6 Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.

7 He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.

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

9 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? or 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 believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?

13 Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?

14 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,

15 And forgetteth 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: her labour is in vain without fear;

17 Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.

18 What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.

19 Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?

20 Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.

21 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.

22 He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.

23 The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.

24 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.

25 He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

26 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?

27 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?

28 She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.

29 From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.

30 Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.

Good News Translation GNT

1 Do you know when mountain goats are born? Have you watched wild deer give birth?

2 Do you know how long they carry their young? Do you know the time for their birth?

3 Do you know when they will crouch down and bring their young into the world?

4 In the wilds their young grow strong; they go away and don't come back.

5 Who gave the wild donkeys their freedom? Who turned them loose and let them roam?

6 I gave them the desert to be their home, and let them live on the salt plains.

7 They keep far away from the noisy cities, and no one can tame them and make them work.

8 The mountains are the pastures where they feed, where they search for anything green to eat.

9 Will a wild ox work for you? Is he willing to spend the night in your stable?

10 Can you hold one with a rope and make him plow? Or make him pull a harrow in your fields?

11 Can you rely on his great strength and expect him to do your heavy work?

12 Do you expect him to bring in your harvest and gather the grain from your threshing place?

13 How fast the wings of an ostrich beat! But no ostrich can fly like a stork.

14 The ostrich leaves her eggs on the ground for the heat in the soil to warm them.

15 She is unaware that a foot may crush them or a wild animal break them.

16 She acts as if the eggs were not hers, and is unconcerned that her efforts were wasted.

17 It was I who made her foolish and did not give her wisdom.

18 But when she begins to run, she can laugh at any horse and rider.

19 Was it you, Job, who made horses so strong and gave them their flowing manes?

20 Did you make them leap like locusts and frighten people with their snorting?

21 They eagerly paw the ground in the valley; they rush into battle with all their strength.

22 They do not know the meaning of fear, and no sword can turn them back.

23 The weapons which their riders carry rattle and flash in the sun.

24 Trembling with excitement, the horses race ahead; when the trumpet blows, they can't stand still.

25 At each blast of the trumpet they snort; they can smell a battle before they get near, and they hear the officers shouting commands.

26 Does a hawk learn from you how to fly when it spreads its wings toward the south?

27 Does an eagle wait for your command to build its nest high in the mountains?

28 It makes its home on the highest rocks and makes the sharp peaks its fortress.

29 From there it watches near and far for something to kill and eat.

30 Around dead bodies the eagles gather, and the young eagles drink the blood.
