39:1
numquid nosti tempus partus hibicum in petris velparturientes cervas observasti

39:2
dinumerasti menses conceptus earum et scisti tempus partusearum

39:3
incurvantur ad fetum et pariunt et rugitus emittunt

39:4
separantur filii earum pergunt ad pastum egrediuntur et nonrevertuntur ad eas

39:5
quis dimisit onagrum liberum et vincula eius quis solvit

39:6
cui dedi in solitudine domum et tabernacula eius in terrasalsuginis

39:7
contemnit multitudinem civitatis clamorem exactoris nonaudit

39:8
circumspicit montes pascuae suae et virentia quaequeperquirit

39:9
numquid volet rinoceros servire tibi aut morabitur adpraesepe tuum

39:10
numquid alligabis rinocerota ad arandum loro tuo autconfringet glebas vallium post te

39:11
numquid fiduciam habebis in magna fortitudine eius etderelinques ei labores tuos

39:12
numquid credes ei quoniam reddat sementem tibi et areamtuam congreget

39:13
pinna strutionum similis est pinnis herodii et accipitris

39:14
quando derelinquit in terra ova sua tu forsitan in pulverecalefacis ea

39:15
obliviscitur quod pes conculcet ea aut bestiae agriconterant

39:16
duratur ad filios suos quasi non sint sui frustralaboravit nullo timore cogente

39:17
privavit enim eam Deus sapientia nec dedit illiintellegentiam

39:18
cum tempus fuerit in altum alas erigit deridet equitem etascensorem eius

39:19
numquid praebebis equo fortitudinem aut circumdabis colloeius hinnitum

39:20
numquid suscitabis eum quasi lucustas gloria narium eiusterror

39:21
terram ungula fodit exultat audacter in occursum pergitarmatis

39:22
contemnit pavorem nec cedit gladio

39:23
super ipsum sonabit faretra vibrabit hasta et clypeus

39:24
fervens et fremens sorbet terram nec reputat tubae sonareclangorem

39:25
ubi audierit bucinam dicet va procul odoratur bellumexhortationem ducum et ululatum exercitus

39:26
numquid per sapientiam tuam plumescit accipiter expandensalas suas ad austrum

39:27
aut ad praeceptum tuum elevabitur aquila et in arduisponet nidum suum

39:28
in petris manet et in praeruptis silicibus commoraturatque inaccessis rupibus

39:29
inde contemplatur escam et de longe oculi eius prospiciunt

39:31
et adiecit Dominus et locutus est ad Iob

039:001
Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?

039:002
Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?

039:003
They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.

039:004
Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them.

039:005
Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?

039:006
Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.

039:007
He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.

039:008
The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.

039:009
Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?

039:010
Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?

039:011
Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?

039:012
Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?

039:013
Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?

039:014
Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,

039:015
And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.

039:016
She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not her's: her labour is in vain without fear;

039:017
Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.

039:018
What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.

039:019
Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?

039:020
Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.

039:021
He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.

039:022
He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.

039:023
The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.

039:024
He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.

039:025
He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

039:026
Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?

039:027
Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?

039:028
She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.

039:029
From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.

039:030
Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.
