Contextual Overview
1 The Lord Continues When do mountain goats and deer give birth? Have you been there when their young are born? 2 How long are they pregnant 3 before they deliver? 4 Soon their young grow strong and then leave to be on their own. 5 Who set wild donkeys free? 6 I alone help them survive in salty desert sand. 7 They stay far from crowded cities and refuse to be tamed. 8 Instead, they roam the hills, searching for pastureland. 9 Would a wild ox agree to live in your barn and labor for you? 10 Could you force him to plow or to drag a heavy log to smooth out the soil?

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.
