Job Chapter 39

God convinces Job by showing more mighty works


39:1 You know the time when the wild goats of the rock bear? Do you watch when the deer calve?
39:2 Can you count the months that they fulfill? or know you the season when they give birth?
39:3 They bow down and bring forth their young ones, they let go their sorrows.
39:4 Their young ones are healthy, they increase with grain; they go out, and don’t return to them.
39:5 Who has sent out the wild ass free? or who has loosened the bonds of the wild ass?
39:6 I have made its house the desert, and the barren land for his dwellings.
39:7 He laughs at the crowd of the city, 
he doesn’t hear the driver’s cries .
39:8 The range of the mountains are his pasture, and he searches for every green thing.
39:9 Will the wild ox be willing to work for you, or shelter by your crib?
39:10 Can you tie the wild ox with
in the furrow his rope? or will he break clods in the valleys for you?
39:11 Will you trust him, because his strength [is] great? or will you leave your labor to him?
39:12 Will you trust him, that he will bring
your seed home , and gather it to your threshing-floor?
39:13 You gave  the goodly wings to the ostriches? or wings and feathers to the stork?
39:14 Which leaves her eggs on the earth, and warms them in dust,
39:15 And forgets that the foot may crush them, or that the beast of the field may trample on them.
39:16 She is unfeeling to her young ones, as though they aren’t hers : her labor is in vain without fear;
39:17 Because Elahאֱלָהּ‎
Transliteration: ‘ĕlâ Pronunciation: el-aw’ pl. Elim or Elohim; Imperial Aramaic: אלהא‏ is the Aramaic word for God and the absolute singular form of אלהא‏, ʾilāhā. The origin of the word is from Proto-Semitic and is thus cognate to the Hebrew, Arabic, Akkadian, and other Semitic languages’ words for god. For more info click here See also click here
has stripped her of wisdom, and He hasn’t given her understanding.
39:18 At the time she lifts up herself on high, she laughs the horse and his rider.
39:19 Have you given the horse strength? have you clothed its neck with a waving mane?
39:20 Can you make him afraid like a grasshopper? the splendor of his snort is terrifying.
39:21 He paws in the valley, and rejoices in [his] strength: he goes on to meet the armor.
39:22 He laughs at fear, and is not afraid; he doesn’t retreat from the sword.
39:23 The quiver rattles on him, the flashing spear and the sword.
39:24 He swallows the ground with quaking and rage: he doesn’t believe when the trumpetשׁוֹפָר‎

e says, Ha, ha; and he smells the battle from a distance, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
39:26 Does the hawk fly by your understanding, and stretch her wings toward the south?
39:27 Does the eagle mount up at your command, and make her nest on high?
39:28 She lives and stays on the rock, on the cliff of the rock, and the fortress.
39:29 From there she searches for food, and her eyes see from a distance.
39:30 Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, she is there.
