Giobbe 39:4

4 i lor piccini si fanno forti, crescono all’aperto, se ne vanno, e non tornan più alle madri.

Giobbe 39:4 Meaning and Commentary

Job 39:4

Their young ones are in good liking
Plump, fat, and sleek, as fawns are:

they grow up with corn;
by which they grow, or without in the field, as the word also signifies; and their growth and increase is very quick, as Aristotle observes ^F12;

they go forth, and return not unto them:
they go forth into the fields, and shift and provide for themselves, and trouble their dams no more; and return not to them, nor are they known by them.

Giobbe 39:4 In-Context

2 Conti tu i mesi della lor pregnanza e sai tu il momento in cui debbono sgravarsi?

3 S’accosciano, fanno i lor piccini, e son tosto liberate dalle loro doglie;

4 i lor piccini si fanno forti, crescono all’aperto, se ne vanno, e non tornan più alle madri.

5 Chi manda libero l’onàgro, e chi scioglie i legami all’asino salvatico,

6 al quale ho dato per dimora il deserto, e la terra salata per abitazione?
