¹ Do you know when mountain goats are born?
    Have you watched wild deer give birth?
² Do you know how long they carry their young?
    Do you know the time for their birth?
³ Do you know when they will crouch down
    and bring their young into the world?
⁴ In the wilds their young grow strong;
    they go away and don't come back.

⁵ Who gave the wild donkeys their freedom?
    Who turned them loose and let them roam?
⁶ I gave them the desert to be their home,
    and let them live on the salt plains.
⁷ They keep far away from the noisy cities,
    and no one can tame them and make them work.
⁸ The mountains are the pastures where they feed,
    where they search for anything green to eat.

⁹ Will a wild ox work for you?
    Is he willing to spend the night in your stable?
¹⁰ Can you hold one with a rope and make him plow?
    Or make him pull a harrow in your fields?
¹¹ Can you rely on his great strength
    and expect him to do your heavy work?
¹² Do you expect him to bring in your harvest
    and gather the grain from your threshing place?

¹³ How fast the wings of an ostrich beat!
    But no ostrich can fly like a stork.^[a]
14 The ostrich leaves her eggs on the ground
    for the heat in the soil to warm them.
¹⁵ She is unaware that a foot may crush them
    or a wild animal break them.
¹⁶ She acts as if the eggs were not hers,
    and is unconcerned that her efforts were wasted.
¹⁷ It was I who made her foolish
    and did not give her wisdom.
¹⁸ But when she begins to run,^[b]
    she can laugh at any horse and rider.

¹⁹ Was it you, Job, who made horses so strong
    and gave them their flowing manes?
²⁰ Did you make them leap like locusts
    and frighten people with their snorting?
²¹ They eagerly paw the ground in the valley;
    they rush into battle with all their strength.
²² They do not know the meaning of fear,
    and no sword can turn them back.
²³ The weapons which their riders carry
    rattle and flash in the sun.
²⁴ Trembling with excitement, the horses race ahead;
    when the trumpet blows, they can't stand still.
²⁵ At each blast of the trumpet they snort;
    they can smell a battle before they get near,
    and they hear the officers shouting commands.

²⁶ Does a hawk learn from you how to fly
    when it spreads its wings toward the south?
²⁷ Does an eagle wait for your command
    to build its nest high in the mountains?
²⁸ It makes its home on the highest rocks
    and makes the sharp peaks its fortress.
²⁹ From there it watches near and far
    for something to kill and eat.
^30 (a)Around dead bodies the eagles gather,
    and the young eagles drink the blood.
