Canst thou bind the buffalo with his cord in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
11
Wilt thou put confidence in him, because his strength is great? and wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
12
Wilt thou trust him to bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy threshing-floor?

The wing of the ostrich beats joyously -- But is it the stork's pinion and plumage?
14
For she leaveth her eggs to the earth, and warmeth them in the dust,
15
And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the beast of the field may trample them.

19
Hast thou given strength to the horse? hast thou clothed his neck with the quivering mane?
