13 “The ostrich’s wings flap wildly, though its pinions lack plumage.

14 For it leaves its eggs to the earth, and lets them be warmed on the ground,

15 forgetting that a foot may crush them, and that a wild animal may trample them.

16 It deals cruelly with its young, as if they were not its own; though its labor should be in vain, yet it has no fear;

17 because God has made it forget wisdom, and given it no share in understanding.
