Job 39:1-8 ▼

1 “Do you know the time when the mountain goats give birth? Do you watch when the doe bears fawns?

2 Can you count the months that they fulfill? Or do you know the time when they give birth?

3 They bow themselves. They bear their young. They end their labor pains.

4 Their young ones become strong. They grow up in the open field. They go out, and don’t return again.

5 “Who has set the wild donkey free? Or who has loosened the bonds of the swift donkey,

6 whose home I have made the wilderness, and the salt land his dwelling place?

7 He scorns the tumult of the city, neither does he hear the shouting of the driver.

8 The range of the mountains is his pasture. He searches after every green thing.
