Job Chapter 39 (KJV)

KJV ESV NIV NASB NLT

undefined Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?

undefined Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?

undefined They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.

undefined Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them.

undefined Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?

undefined Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.

undefined He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.

undefined The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.

undefined Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?

undefined Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?

undefined Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?

undefined Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?

undefined Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?

undefined Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,

undefined And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.

undefined She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear;

undefined Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.

undefined What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.

undefined Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?

undefined Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.

undefined He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.

undefined He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.

undefined The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.

undefined He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.

undefined He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

undefined Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?

undefined Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?

undefined She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.

undefined From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.

undefined Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.
