World English Bible Classic
[1] “Do you know the time when the mountain goats give birth?
Do you watch when the doe bears fawns?
[2] Can you count the months that they fulfill?
Or do you know the time when they give birth?
[3] They bow themselves. They bear their young.
They end their labor pains.
[4] Their young ones become strong.
They grow up in the open field.
They go out, and don’t return again. [5] “Who has set the wild donkey free?
Or who has loosened the bonds of the swift donkey,
[6] whose home I have made the wilderness,
and the salt land his dwelling place?
[7] He scorns the tumult of the city,
neither does he hear the shouting of the driver.
[8] The range of the mountains is his pasture.
He searches after every green thing. [9] “Will the wild ox be content to serve you?
Or will he stay by your feeding trough?
[10] Can you hold the wild ox in the furrow with his harness?
Or will he till the valleys after you?
[11] Will you trust him, because his strength is great?
Or will you leave to him your labor?
[12] Will you confide in him, that he will bring home your seed,
and gather the grain of your threshing floor? [13] “The wings of the ostrich wave proudly,
but are they the feathers and plumage of love?
[14] For she leaves her eggs on the earth,
warms them in the dust,
[15] and forgets that the foot may crush them,
or that the wild animal may trample them.
[16] She deals harshly with her young ones, as if they were not hers.
Though her labor is in vain, she is without fear,
[17] because God has deprived her of wisdom,
neither has he imparted to her understanding.
[18] When she lifts up herself on high,
she scorns the horse and his rider. [19] “Have you given the horse might?
Have you clothed his neck with a quivering mane?
[20] Have you made him to leap as a locust?
The glory of his snorting is awesome.
[21] He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength.
He goes out to meet the armed men.
[22] He mocks at fear, and is not dismayed,
neither does he turn back from the sword.
[23] The quiver rattles against him,
the flashing spear and the javelin.
[24] He eats up the ground with fierceness and rage,
neither does he stand still at the sound of the trumpet.
[25] As often as the trumpet sounds he snorts, ‘Aha!’
He smells the battle afar off,
the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. [26] “Is it by your wisdom that the hawk soars,
and stretches her wings toward the south?
[27] Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up,
and makes his nest on high?
[28] On the cliff he dwells and makes his home,
on the point of the cliff and the stronghold.
[29] From there he spies out the prey.
His eyes see it afar off.
[30] His young ones also suck up blood.
Where the slain are, there he is.”
King James Version
[1] Knowest H3045 thou the time H6256 when the wild goats H3277 of the rock H5553 bring forth? H3205
Or canst thou mark H8104 when the hinds H355 do calve? H2342
[2] Canst thou number H5608 the months H3391 that they fulfil? H4390
Or knowest H3045 thou the time H6256 when they bring forth? H3205
[3] They bow H3766 themselves, they bring forth H6398 their young ones, H3206
They cast out H7971 their sorrows. H2256
[4] Their young ones H1121 are in good liking, H2492 they grow up H7235 with corn; H1250
They go forth, H3318 and return H7725 not unto them.
[5] Who hath sent out H7971 the wild ass H6501 free? H2670
Or who hath loosed H6605 the bands H4147 of the wild ass? H6171
[6] Whose H834 house H1004 I have made H7760 the wilderness, H6160
And the barren H4420 land§ his dwellings. H4908
[7] He scorneth H7832 the multitude H1995 of the city, H7151
Neither regardeth H8085 he the crying H8663 of the driver. H5065§
[8] The range H3491 of the mountains H2022 is his pasture, H4829
And he searcheth H1875 after H310 every H3605 green thing. H3387
[9] Will the unicorn H7214 be willing H14 to serve H5647 thee,
Or abide H3885 by thy crib? H18
[10] Canst thou bind H7194 the unicorn H7214 with his band H5688 in the furrow? H8525
Or will he harrow H7702 the valleys H6010 after H310 thee?
[11] Wilt thou trust H982 him, because his strength H3581 is great? H7227
Or wilt thou leave H5800 thy labour H3018 to him?
[12] Wilt thou believe H539 him, that he will bring home H7725 H7725 thy seed, H2233
And gather H622 it into thy barn? H1637
[13] Gavest thou the goodly H7443 wings H3671 unto the peacocks? H5965
Or wings H84 and feathers H2624 unto the ostrich? H5133§
[14] Which leaveth H5800 her eggs H1000 in the earth, H776
And warmeth H2552 them in dust, H6083
[15] And forgetteth H7911 that the foot H7272 may crush H2115 them,
Or that the wild H7704 beast H2416 may break H1758 them.
[16] She is hardened H7188 against her young ones, H1121 as though they were not H3808 her’s:
Her labour H3018 is in vain H7385 without fear; H6343
[17] Because H3588 God H433 hath deprived H5382 her of wisdom, H2451
Neither hath he imparted H2505 to her understanding. H998
[18] What time H6256 she lifteth up H4754 herself on high, H4791
She scorneth H7832 the horse H5483 and his rider. H7392
[19] Hast thou given H5414 the horse H5483 strength? H1369
Hast thou clothed H3847 his neck H6677 with thunder? H7483
[20] Canst thou make him afraid H7493 as a grasshopper? H697
The glory H1935 of his nostrils H5170 is terrible. H367§
[21] He paweth H2658§ in the valley, H6010 and rejoiceth H7797 in his strength: H3581
He goeth on H3318 to meet H7125 the armed men. H5402§
[22] He mocketh H7832 at fear, H6343 and is not affrighted; H2865
Neither turneth he back H7725 from H6440 the sword. H2719
[23] The quiver H827 rattleth H7439 against H5921 him,
The glittering H3851 spear H2595 and the shield. H3591
[24] He swalloweth H1572 the ground H776 with fierceness H7494 and rage: H7267
Neither believeth H539 he that it is the sound H6963 of the trumpet. H7782
[25] He saith H559 among H1767 the trumpets, H7782 Ha, H1889 ha; H1889
And he smelleth H7306 the battle H4421 afar off, H7350
The thunder H7482 of the captains, H8269 and the shouting. H8643
[26] Doth the hawk H5322 fly H82 by thy wisdom, H998
And stretch H6566 her wings H3671 toward the south? H8486
[27] Doth the eagle H5404 mount up H1361 at thy command, H6310
And make H7311 her nest H7064 on H5921 high? H7311
[28] She dwelleth H7931 and abideth H3885 on the rock, H5553
Upon the crag H8127 of the rock, H5553 and the strong place. H4686
[29] From thence she seeketh H2658 the prey, H400
And her eyes H5869 behold H5027 afar off. H7350
[30] Her young ones H667 also suck up H5966 blood: H1818
And where the slain H2491 are, there is she. H1931
