¹ Do you know the time when the wild goats of the rock bear? Do you observe the calving of deer?² Can you tell the months they fulfill; or do you know the time for their bearing,³ when they crouch and bring forth; they send out their pangs?⁴ Their sons are strong; they multiply with grain; they go forth and do not return to them.⁵ Who has sent out the wild ass free, or who has loosened the bands of the wild ass?⁶ To whom I have assigned the desert for his home, and the salt land for his dwellings?⁷ He laughs at the roar of the city; he does not hear the driver's shouts;⁸ he seeks out mountains for his pasture; and he searches after every green thing.⁹ Will the wild ox consent to be your servant, or spend the night by your feed-trough?¹⁰ Can you tie the wild ox in the furrow with his rope? Or will he harrow the valleys for you?¹¹ Will you trust him because his strength is great; or will you leave your labor to him?¹² Or will you have faith in him, that he will return your seed, and gather it to your grain-floor?

¹³ The wing of the ostriches flap joyously, though not like the stork's pinions for flight.¹⁴ For she leaves her eggs to the earth, and lets them warm on the dust;¹⁵ and forgets that a foot may crush it, or the beast of the field may trample it;¹⁶ she treats her young roughly, as if they are not hers; for her labor is vanity without fear;¹⁷ because God has made her forget wisdom; and He has not given to her a share in understanding.¹⁸ At the time she lifts up on high, she laughs at the horse and its rider.

¹⁹ Have you given the horse its strength: have you clothed its neck with a mane?²⁰ Can you make him leap like a locust; the majesty of his snorting is terrifying?²¹ He paws in the valley and he rejoices in his strength; he goes out to meet the weapons;²² he mocks at fear and is not terrified; and he does not turn back from the sword.²³ The quiver rattles against him, the flashing spear and the javelin.²⁴ He swallows the ground with quivering and trembling, and he does not stand still for the sound of the ram's horn.²⁵ When the ram's horn sounds , he says, Aha! And he smells the battle from a distance, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

²⁶ Does the hawk soar from your understanding? Will he spread his wings toward the south?²⁷ Or does the eagle mount up at your mouth, and make his nest on high?²⁸ He lives and stays on the rock, on the crag of the rock and the stronghold.²⁹ From there he seeks food; his eyes see afar off.³⁰ And his young brood also sucks up blood; and where the pierced ones are , there he is .
