(New International Version)

  • 1 “Do you know when the mountain goats give birth? Do you watch when the doe bears her fawn?
  • 2 Do you count the months till they bear? Do you know the time they give birth?
  • 3 They crouch down and bring forth their young; their labor pains are ended.
  • 4 Their young thrive and grow strong in the wilds; they leave and do not return.
  • 5 “Who let the wild donkey go free? Who untied its ropes?
  • 6 I gave it the wasteland as its home, the salt flats as its habitat.
  • 7 It laughs at the commotion in the town; it does not hear a driver’s shout.
  • 8 It ranges the hills for its pasture and searches for any green thing.
  • 9 “Will the wild ox consent to serve you? Will it stay by your manger at night?
  • 10 Can you hold it to the furrow with a harness? Will it till the valleys behind you?
  • 11 Will you rely on it for its great strength? Will you leave your heavy work to it?
  • 12 Can you trust it to haul in your grain and bring it to your threshing floor?
  • 13 “The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully, though they cannot compare with the wings and feathers of the stork.
  • 14 She lays her eggs on the ground and lets them warm in the sand,
  • 15 unmindful that a foot may crush them, that some wild animal may trample them.
  • 16 She treats her young harshly, as if they were not hers; she cares not that her labor was in vain,
  • 17 for God did not endow her with wisdom or give her a share of good sense.
  • 18 Yet when she spreads her feathers to run, she laughs at horse and rider.
  • 19 “Do you give the horse its strength or clothe its neck with a flowing mane?
  • 20 Do you make it leap like a locust, striking terror with its proud snorting?
  • 21 It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength, and charges into the fray.
  • 22 It laughs at fear, afraid of nothing; it does not shy away from the sword.
  • 23 The quiver rattles against its side, along with the flashing spear and lance.
  • 24 In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground; it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.
  • 25 At the blast of the trumpet it snorts, ‘Aha!’ It catches the scent of battle from afar, the shout of commanders and the battle cry.
  • 26 “Does the hawk take flight by your wisdom and spread its wings toward the south?
  • 27 Does the eagle soar at your command and build its nest on high?
  • 28 It dwells on a cliff and stays there at night; a rocky crag is its stronghold.
  • 29 From there it looks for food; its eyes detect it from afar.
  • 30 Its young ones feast on blood, and where the slain are, there it is.”
