Job 39:1-7

1 numquid nosti tempus partus hibicum in petris vel parturientes cervas observasti

2 dinumerasti menses conceptus earum et scisti tempus partus earum

3 incurvantur ad fetum et pariunt et rugitus emittunt

4 separantur filii earum pergunt ad pastum egrediuntur et non revertuntur ad eas

5 quis dimisit onagrum liberum et vincula eius quis solvit

6 cui dedi in solitudine domum et tabernacula eius in terra salsuginis

7 contemnit multitudinem civitatis clamorem exactoris non audit

Job 39:1-7 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOB 39

This chapter treats of various creatures, beasts and birds, which Job had little knowledge of, had no concern in the making of them, and scarcely any power over them; as of the goats and hinds, Job 39:1-4; of the wild ass, Job 39:5-8; of the unicorn, Job 39:9-12; of the peacock and ostrich, Job 39:13-18; of the horse, Job 39:19-25; and of the hawk and eagle, Job 39:26-30.
