- “Do you know when the mountain goats give birth? Do you observe the calving of the does?
- 2
- Can you number the months that they fulfill, and do you know the time when they give birth,
- 3
- when they crouch, bring forth their offspring, and are delivered of their young?
- 4
- Their young ones become strong; they grow up in the open; they go out and do not return to them.

- He scorns the tumult of the city; he hears not the shouts of the driver.
- 8
- He ranges the mountains as his pasture, and he searches after every green thing.

- “Is the wild ox willing to serve you? Will he spend the night at your manger?
- 10
- Can you bind him in the furrow with ropes, or will he harrow the valleys after you?
- 11
- Will you depend on him because his strength is great, and will you leave to him your labor?
- 12
- Do you have faith in him that he will return your grain and gather it to your threshing floor?

- 14
- For she leaves her eggs to the earth and lets them be warmed on the ground,
- 15
- forgetting that a foot may crush them and that the wild beast may trample them.
- 16
- She deals cruelly with her young, as if they were not hers; though her labor be in vain, yet she has no fear,
- 17
- because God has made her forget wisdom and given her no share in understanding.
- 18
- When she rouses herself to flee, she laughs at the horse and his rider.
- 19
- “Do you give the horse his might? Do you clothe his neck with a mane?
- 20
- Do you make him leap like the locust? His majestic snorting is terrifying.
- 21
- He paws in the valley and exults in his strength; he goes out to meet the weapons.
- 22
- He laughs at fear and is not dismayed; he does not turn back from the sword.
- 23
- Upon him rattle the quiver, the flashing spear, and the javelin.
- 24
- With fierceness and rage he swallows the ground; he cannot stand still at the sound of the trumpet.
- 25
- When the trumpet sounds, he says ‘Aha!’ He smells the battle from afar, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

- “Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars and spreads his wings toward the south?
- 27
- Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up and makes his nest on high?
- 28
- On the rock he dwells and makes his home, on the rocky crag and stronghold.
- 29
- From there he spies out the prey; his eyes behold it from far away.
- 30
- His young ones suck up blood, and where the slain are, there is he.”
