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.
