Job 39 (WEBP)

[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.”

Job 39 (KJVS)

[1] Knowest () thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? () Or canst thou mark () when the hinds do calve? ()
[2] Canst thou number () the months that they fulfil? () Or knowest () thou the time when they bring forth? ()
[3] They bow () themselves, they bring forth () their young ones, They cast out () their sorrows.
[4] Their young ones are in good liking, () they grow up () with corn; They go forth, () and return () not unto them.

[8] The range of the mountains is his pasture, And he searcheth () after every green thing.
[9] Will the unicorn be willing () to serve () thee, Or abide () by thy crib?
[10] Canst thou bind () the unicorn with his band in the furrow? Or will he harrow () the valleys after thee?
[11] Wilt thou trust () him, because his strength is great? Or wilt thou leave () thy labour to him?
[12] Wilt thou believe () him, that he will bring home () () () thy seed, And gather () it into thy barn?
[13] Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? () Or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?
[14] Which leaveth () her eggs in the earth, And warmeth () them in dust,
[15] And forgetteth () that the foot may crush () them, Or that the wild beast may break () them.

[30] Her young ones also suck up () blood: And where the slain are, there is she.

Job 39 (BYZ)

[1] ει εγνως καιρον τοκετου τραγελαφων πετρας εφυλαξας δε ωδινας ελαφων
[2] ηριθμησας δε αυτων μηνας πληρεις τοκετου ωδινας δε αυτων ελυσας
[3] εξεθρεψας δε αυτων τα παιδια εξω φοβου ωδινας αυτων εξαποστελεις
[4] απορρηξουσιν τα τεκνα αυτων πληθυνθησονται εν γενηματι εξελευσονται και ου μη ανακαμψουσιν αυτοις
[5] τις δε εστιν ο αφεις ονον αγριον ελευθερον δεσμους δε αυτου τις ελυσεν
[6] εθεμην δε την διαιταν αυτου ερημον και τα σκηνωματα αυτου αλμυριδα
[7] καταγελων πολυοχλιας πολεως μεμψιν δε φορολογου ουκ ακουων
[8] κατασκεψεται ορη νομην αυτου και οπισω παντος χλωρου ζητει
[9] βουλησεται δε σοι μονοκερως δουλευσαι η κοιμηθηναι επι φατνης σου
[10] δησεις δε εν ιμασι ζυγον αυτου η ελκυσει σου αυλακας εν πεδιω
[11] πεποιθας δε επ αυτω οτι πολλη η ισχυς αυτου επαφησεις δε αυτω τα εργα σου
[12] πιστευσεις δε οτι αποδωσει σοι τον σπορον εισοισει δε σου τον αλωνα
[13] πτερυξ τερπομενων νεελασα εαν συλλαβη ασιδα και νεσσα
[14] οτι αφησει εις γην τα ωα αυτης και επι χουν θαλψει
[15] και επελαθετο οτι πους σκορπιει και θηρια αγρου καταπατησει
[16] απεσκληρυνεν τα τεκνα αυτης ωστε μη εαυτη εις κενον εκοπιασεν ανευ φοβου
[17] οτι κατεσιωπησεν αυτη ο θεος σοφιαν και ουκ εμερισεν αυτη εν τη συνεσει
[18] κατα καιρον εν υψει υψωσει καταγελασεται ιππου και του επιβατου αυτου
[19] η συ περιεθηκας ιππω δυναμιν ενεδυσας δε τραχηλω αυτου φοβον
[20] περιεθηκας δε αυτω πανοπλιαν δοξαν δε στηθεων αυτου τολμη
[21] ανορυσσων εν πεδιω γαυρια εκπορευεται δε εις πεδιον εν ισχυι
[22] συναντων βελει καταγελα και ου μη αποστραφη απο σιδηρου
[23] επ αυτω γαυρια τοξον και μαχαιρα
[24] και οργη αφανιει την γην και ου μη πιστευση εως αν σημανη σαλπιγξ
[25] σαλπιγγος δε σημαινουσης λεγει ευγε πορρωθεν δε οσφραινεται πολεμου συν αλματι και κραυγη
[26] εκ δε της σης επιστημης εστηκεν ιεραξ αναπετασας τας πτερυγας ακινητος καθορων τα προς νοτον
[27] επι δε σω προσταγματι υψουται αετος γυψ δε επι νοσσιας αυτου καθεσθεις αυλιζεται
[28] επ εξοχη πετρας και αποκρυφω
[29] εκεισε ων ζητει τα σιτα πορρωθεν οι οφθαλμοι αυτου σκοπευουσιν
[30] νεοσσοι δε αυτου φυρονται εν αιματι ου δ αν ωσι τεθνεωτες παραχρημα ευρισκονται
