39:1 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? [or] canst thou mark when the hinds do calve:

39:2 Canst thou number the months [that] they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth:

39:3 They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows:

39:4 Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them:

39:6 Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings:

39:7 He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver:

39:8 The range of the mountains [is] his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing:

39:9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib:

39:10 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee:

39:11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength [is] great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him:

39:12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather [it into] thy barn:

39:13 Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich:

39:14 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust:

39:15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them:

39:16 She is hardened against her young ones, as though [they were] not hers: her labour is in vain without fear:

39:18 What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider:

39:19 Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder:

39:20 Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils [is] terrible:
