Contextual Overview

1"Do you know the time when the wild goats of the rock give birth [to their young]? Do you observe the calving of the deer? 2"Can you count the months that they carry offspring, Or do you know the time when they give birth? 3"They kneel down, they bring forth their young, They cast out their labor pains. 4"Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field; They leave and do not return to them. 5"Who sent out the wild donkey free [from dependence on man]? And who has loosed the bonds of the wild donkey [to survive in the wild], 6To whom I gave the wilderness as his home And the salt land as his dwelling place? 7"He scorns the tumult of the city, And does not hear the shouting of the taskmaster. 8"He explores the mountains as his pasture And searches after every green thing. 9"Will the wild ox be willing to serve you, Or remain beside your manger at night? 10"Can you bind the wild ox with a harness [to the plow] in the furrow? Or will he plow the valleys for you?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Wilt thou believe him that he will bring home thy seed?.... Draw in the cart, and bring home the ripe sheaves of corn, as the tame ox does? no; thou knowest him too well to believe he will bring it home in safety;

and gather [it into] thy barn; to be trodden out, which used to be done by oxen in those times: if therefore Job could not manage such unruly creatures as the wild ass and the wild ox, and make them serviceable to him, how unfit must he be to govern the world, or to direct in the affairs of Providence?

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Wilt thou believe him? - That is, wilt thou trust him with the productions of the field? The idea is, that he was an untamed and unsubdued animal. He could not be governed, like the camel or the ox. If the sheaves of the harvest were laid on him, there would be no certainty that he would convey them where the farmer wished them.

And gather it into thy barn? - Or, rather, “to thy threshing-floor,” for so the word used here (גרן gôren) means. It was not common to gather a harvest into a barn, but it was usually collected on a hard-trod place and there threshed and winnowed. For the use of the word, see Ruth 3:2; Judges 6:37; Numbers 18:30; Isaiah 21:10.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 39:12. That he will bring home thy seed — Thou canst make no domestic nor agricultural use of him.
