Job 39:1-9

1 Whether thou knowest the time of birth of wild goats in (the) stones, either hast thou espied hinds bringing forth calves? (Knowest thou the time of birth for the wild mountain goats, or hast thou seen the deer bringing forth their calves?)
2 Hast thou numbered the months of their conceiving, and hast thou known the time of their calving?
3 They be bowed down to [the] calf, and so calve; and they send out then roarings (and then they send out their roarings).
4 Their calves be separated from them, and go forth to pasture; they go out, and they turn not again to their mothers.
5 Who hath let go the wild ass free, and who hath loosed the bonds of him? (Who hath let the wild donkey go free, and who hath loosened his bonds?)
6 To whom I have given an house in (the) wilderness, and the tabernacles of him in the land of saltness. (To whom I have given a home in the desert, and his dwelling places in the salty land.)
7 He despiseth the multitude of the city; he heareth not the cry of the asker.
8 He looketh about the hills of his pasture, and he seeketh (after) all green things.
9 Whether an unicorn shall desire to serve thee, either shall dwell at thy cratch? (Shall a wild ox desire to serve thee, or shall he stay in thy stall?)
