| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3They crouch down to give birth to their young and deliver their offspring. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Their young grow up in the open fields, then leave home and never return. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5“Who gives the wild donkey its freedom? Who untied its ropes? |

| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Can you rely on it to bring home your grain and deliver it to your threshing floor? |

| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15She doesn’t worry that a foot might crush them or a wild animal might destroy them. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16She is harsh toward her young, as if they were not her own. She doesn’t care if they die. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17For God has deprived her of wisdom. He has given her no understanding. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18But whenever she jumps up to run, she passes the swiftest horse with its rider. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19“Have you given the horse its strength or clothed its neck with a flowing mane? |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Did you give it the ability to leap like a locust? Its majestic snorting is terrifying! |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21It paws the earth and rejoices in its strength when it charges out to battle. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22It laughs at fear and is unafraid. It does not run from the sword. |

| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29From there it hunts its prey, keeping watch with piercing eyes. |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30Its young gulp down blood. Where there’s a carcass, there you’ll find it.” |
