| # Chapter 39
| Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
| Canst thou number the months that they fulfill? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
| They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.
| Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not to them.
| Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?
| Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.
| He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.
| The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.
| Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
| Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
| Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labor to him?
| Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?
| Gavest thou the goodly wings to the peacocks? or wings and feathers to the ostrich!
| Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in the dust,
| And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
| She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labor is in vain without fear;
| Because God hath withheld wisdom from her, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
| When she lifteth herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
| Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
| Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
| He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.
| He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.
| The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
| He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
| He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
| Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings towards the south?
| Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?
| She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.
| From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.
| Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.
