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

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

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

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

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

6 I made the wilderness his home and the salt flats his dwelling.

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

8 He roams the mountains for pasture, searching for any green thing.

9 Will the wild ox consent to serve you? Will he stay by your manger at night?

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