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.

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.
