Job 39:5-15

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

8 circumspicit montes pascuae suae et virentia quaeque perquirit

9 numquid volet rinoceros servire tibi aut morabitur ad praesepe tuum

10 numquid alligabis rinocerota ad arandum loro tuo aut confringet glebas vallium post te

11 numquid fiduciam habebis in magna fortitudine eius et derelinques ei labores tuos

12 numquid credes ei quoniam reddat sementem tibi et aream tuam congreget

13 pinna strutionum similis est pinnis herodii et accipitris

14 quando derelinquit in terra ova sua tu forsitan in pulvere calefacis ea

15 obliviscitur quod pes conculcet ea aut bestiae agri conterant

Job 39:5-15 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.
