Job 39:5-30 ▼

5 (39:8) Who hath set the wilde asse at libertie? or who hath loosed the bondes of the wilde asse?

6 (39:9) It is I which haue made the wildernesse his house, and the salt places his dwellings.

7 (39:10) He derideth the multitude of the citie: he heareth not the crie of the driuer.

8 (39:11) He seeketh out the mountaine for his pasture, and searcheth after euery greene thing.

9 (39:12) Will the vnicorne serue thee? or will he tary by thy cribbe?

10 (39:13) Canst thou binde the vnicorne with his band to labour in the furrowe? or will he plowe the valleyes after thee?

11 (39:14) Wilt thou trust in him, because his stregth is great, and cast off thy labour vnto him?

12 (39:15) Wilt thou beleeue him, that he will bring home thy seede, and gather it vnto thy barne?

13 (39:16) Hast thou giuen the pleasant wings vnto the peacockes? or winges and feathers vnto the ostriche?

14 (39:17) Which leaueth his egges in the earth, and maketh them hote in the dust,

15 (39:18) And forgetteth that the foote might scatter the, or that the wild beast might breake the.

16 (39:19) He sheweth himselfe cruell vnto his yong ones, as they were not his, and is without feare, as if he trauailed in vaine.

17 (39:20) For God had depriued him of wisedom, and hath giuen him no part of vnderstanding.

18 (39:21) When time is, he mounteth on hie: he mocketh the horse and his rider.

19 (39:22) Hast thou giuen the horse strength? or couered his necke with neying?

20 (39:23) Hast thou made him afraid as the grashopper? his strong neying is fearefull.

21 (39:24) He diggeth in the valley, and reioyceth in his strength: he goeth foorth to meete the harnest man.

22 (39:25) He mocketh at feare, and is not afraid, and turneth not backe from the sworde,

23 (39:26) Though the quiuer rattle against him, the glittering speare and the shield.

24 (39:27) He swalloweth the ground for fearcenes and rage, and he beleeueth not that it is the noise of the trumpet.

25 (39:28) He sayth among the trumpets, Ha, ha: hee smelleth the battell afarre off, and the noyse of the captaines, and the shouting.

26 (39:29) Shall the hauke flie by thy wisedome, stretching out his wings toward the South?

27 (39:30) Doeth the egle mount vp at thy commandement, or make his nest on hie?

28 (39:31) Shee abideth and remaineth in the rocke, euen vpon the toppe of the rocke, and the tower.

29 (39:32) From thence she spieth for meate, and her eyes beholde afarre off.

30 (39:33) His young ones also sucke vp blood: and where the slaine are, there is she.
