Job 39

Third Millennium Bible TMB

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 fulfill? 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 sturdy; 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 to the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys behind thee?

11 Wilt thou trust him because his strength is great? Or wilt thou leave thy labor to him?

12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home the 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 labor is in vain without fear;

17 because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath He imparted to her understanding.

18 Yet when 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 frightened, 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."

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."
