1“Do you know when mountain goats give birth? Have you watched the doe bear her fawn?

1"Do you know when the mountain goat gives birth? Do you watch the doe as it calves its young?

2Can you count the months they are pregnant? Do you know the time they give birth?

2Can you count the months of their gestation? Do you know the time when they give birth,

3They crouch down and bring forth their young; they deliver their newborn.

3when they crouch down to give birth to their offspring, and let go of their birth pangs?

4Their young ones thrive and grow up in the open field; they leave and do not return.

4Their young are strong; they grow up in the open field; then they go off and don't return to them."

5Who set the wild donkey free? Who released the swift donkey from the harness?

7He scorns the tumult of the city and never hears the shouts of a driver.

9Is the wild ox willing to serve you? Will he sleep at night near your feeding trough?

10Can you hold him to the furrow with a harness? Will he plow the valleys behind you?

10Can you bind the ox to plow a furrow with a rope? Will he harrow after you in the valley?

11Can you rely on his great strength? Will you leave your hard work to him?

11Will you trust him because of his great strength and entrust your labor to him?

12Can you trust him to bring in your grain and gather it to your threshing floor?

12Will you trust him that he'll bring in your grain, and gather it to your threshing floor?"

13The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully, but cannot match the pinions and feathers of the stork.

13"The wings of the ostrich flap joyously, but aren't its pinions and feathers like the stork?

14For she leaves her eggs on the ground and lets them warm in the sand.

14She abandons her eggs on the ground and lets them be warmed in the sand,

15She forgets that a foot may crush them, or a wild animal may trample them.

15but she forgets that a foot might crush them or any wild animal might trample them.

16She treats her young harshly, as if not her own, with no concern that her labor was in vain.

16She mistreats her young as though they're not hers, and she has no fear that her labor may be in vain,

17For God has deprived her of wisdom; He has not endowed her with understanding.

17because God didn't grant her wisdom and never gave her understanding.

18Yet when she proudly spreads her wings, she laughs at the horse and its rider.

18And yet when she gets ready to run, she laughs at the horse and its rider."

19Do you give strength to the horse or adorn his neck with a mane?

19Do you instill the horse with strength? Do you clothe its neck with a mane?

20Do you make him leap like a locust, striking terror with his proud snorting?

20Can you make him leap like the locust, and make the splendor of his snorting terrifying?

21He paws in the valley and rejoices in his strength; he charges into battle.

21He paws the ground in the valley and rejoices in his strength; he goes out to face weapons.

22He laughs at fear, frightened of nothing; he does not turn back from the sword.

22He scoffs at fear and is never scared; he never retreats from a sword.

23A quiver rattles at his side, along with a flashing spear and lance.

23A quiver of arrows rattles against his side, along with a flashing spear and a lance.

24Trembling with excitement, he devours the distance; he cannot stand still when the ram’s horn sounds.

24Leaping in his excitement, he takes in the ground; he cannot stand still when the trumpets sound!

25At the blast of the horn, he snorts with fervor. He catches the scent of battle from afar—the shouts of captains and the cry of war.

25When the trumpet blasts he'll neigh, 'Aha! Aha!' From a distance he can sense war, the war cry of generals, and their shouting."

26Does the hawk take flight by your understanding and spread his wings toward the south?

26"Is it by your understanding that the hawk flies, spreading its wings toward the south?

27Does the eagle soar at your command and make his nest on high?

28He dwells on a cliff and lodges there; his stronghold is on a rocky crag.

28He dwells on the crags where he makes his home, there on the rocky crag is his stronghold.

29From there he spies out food; his eyes see it from afar.

29From there he searches for prey, and his eyes recognize it from a distance.

30His young ones feast on blood; and where the slain are, there he is.”

30His young ones feast on blood; he'll be found wherever there's a carcass."
