1Do you know when mountain goats give birth? Have you watched the doe bear her fawn? 1הֲיָדַ֗עְתָּ עֵ֭ת לֶ֣דֶת יַעֲלֵי־ סָ֑לַע חֹלֵ֖ל אַיָּל֣וֹת תִּשְׁמֹֽר׃
2Can you count the months they are pregnant? Do you know the time they give birth? 2תִּסְפֹּ֣ר יְרָחִ֣ים תְּמַלֶּ֑אנָה וְ֝יָדַ֗עְתָּ עֵ֣ת לִדְתָּֽנָה׃
3They crouch down and bring forth their young; they deliver their newborn. 3תִּ֭כְרַעְנָה יַלְדֵיהֶ֣ן תְּפַלַּ֑חְנָה חֶבְלֵיהֶ֥ם תְּשַׁלַּֽחְנָה׃
4Their young ones thrive and grow up in the open field; they leave and do not return. 4יַחְלְמ֣וּ בְ֭נֵיהֶם יִרְבּ֣וּ בַבָּ֑ר יָ֝צְא֗וּ וְלֹא־ שָׁ֥בוּ לָֽמוֹ׃
5Who set the wild donkey free? Who released the swift donkey from the harness? 5מִֽי־ שִׁלַּ֣ח פֶּ֣רֶא חָפְשִׁ֑י וּמֹסְר֥וֹת עָ֝ר֗וֹד מִ֣י פִתֵּֽחַ׃
6I made the wilderness his home and the salt flats his dwelling. 6אֲשֶׁר־ שַׂ֣מְתִּי עֲרָבָ֣ה בֵית֑וֹ וּֽמִשְׁכְּנוֹתָ֥יו מְלֵֽחָה׃
7He scorns the tumult of the city and never hears the shouts of a driver. 7יִ֭שְׂחַק לַהֲמ֣וֹן קִרְיָ֑ה תְּשֻׁא֥וֹת נ֝וֹגֵ֗שׂ לֹ֣א יִשְׁמָֽע׃
8He roams the mountains for pasture, searching for any green thing. 8יְת֣וּר הָרִ֣ים מִרְעֵ֑הוּ וְאַחַ֖ר כָּל־ יָר֣וֹק יִדְרֽוֹשׁ׃
9Will the wild ox consent to serve you? Will he stay by your manger {at night}? 9הֲיֹ֣אבֶה רֵּ֣ים‪‬ עָבְדֶ֑ךָ אִם־ יָ֝לִ֗ין עַל־ אֲבוּסֶֽךָ׃
10Can you hold [him] to the furrow with a harness? Will he plow the valleys behind you? 10הֲ‍ֽתִקְשָׁר־ רֵ֭ים בְּתֶ֣לֶם עֲבֹת֑וֹ אִם־ יְשַׂדֵּ֖ד עֲמָקִ֣ים אַחֲרֶֽיךָ׃
11Can you rely on his great strength? Will you leave your hard work to him? 11הֲֽתִבְטַח־ בּ֭וֹ כִּי־ רַ֣ב כֹּח֑וֹ וְתַעֲזֹ֖ב אֵלָ֣יו יְגִיעֶֽךָ׃
12Can you trust him to bring in your grain and gather it to your threshing floor? 12הֲתַאֲמִ֣ין בּ֭וֹ כִּי־ [ישוב] (יָשִׁ֣יב) זַרְעֶ֑ךָ וְֽגָרְנְךָ֥ יֶאֱסֹֽף׃
13The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully, but cannot [match] the pinions and feathers of the stork. 13כְּנַף־ רְנָנִ֥ים נֶעֱלָ֑סָה אִם־ אֶ֝בְרָ֗ה חֲסִידָ֥ה וְנֹצָֽה׃
14For she leaves her eggs on the ground and lets them warm in the sand. 14כִּֽי־ תַעֲזֹ֣ב לָאָ֣רֶץ בֵּצֶ֑יהָ וְֽעַל־ עָפָ֥ר תְּחַמֵּֽם׃
15She forgets that a foot may crush them, or a wild animal may trample them. 15וַ֭תִּשְׁכַּח כִּי־ רֶ֣גֶל תְּזוּרֶ֑הָ וְחַיַּ֖ת הַשָּׂדֶ֣ה תְּדוּשֶֽׁהָ׃
16She treats her young harshly, as if not her own, with no concern that her labor was in vain. 16הִקְשִׁ֣יחַ בָּנֶ֣יהָ לְּלֹא־ לָ֑הּ לְרִ֖יק יְגִיעָ֣הּ בְּלִי־ פָֽחַד׃
17For God has deprived her of wisdom; He has not endowed her with understanding. 17כִּֽי־ הִשָּׁ֣הּ אֱל֣וֹהַּ חָכְמָ֑ה וְלֹא־ חָ֥לַק לָ֝֗הּ בַּבִּינָֽה׃
18Yet when she proudly spreads her wings, she laughs at the horse and its rider. 18כָּ֭עֵת בַּמָּר֣וֹם תַּמְרִ֑יא תִּֽשְׂחַ֥ק לַ֝סּ֗וּס וּלְרֹֽכְבֽוֹ׃
19Do you give strength to the horse or adorn his neck with a mane? 19הֲתִתֵּ֣ן לַסּ֣וּס גְּבוּרָ֑ה הֲתַלְבִּ֖ישׁ צַוָּאר֣וֹ רַעְמָֽה׃
20Do you make him leap like a locust, [striking] terror with his proud snorting? 20הְֽ֭תַרְעִישֶׁנּוּ כָּאַרְבֶּ֑ה ה֖וֹד נַחְר֣וֹ אֵימָֽה׃
21He paws in the valley and rejoices in his strength; he charges into battle. 21יַחְפְּר֣וּ בָ֭עֵמֶק וְיָשִׂ֣ישׂ בְּכֹ֑חַ יֵ֝צֵ֗א לִקְרַאת־ נָֽשֶׁק׃
22He laughs at fear, frightened of nothing; he does not turn back from the sword. 22יִשְׂחַ֣ק לְ֭פַחַד וְלֹ֣א יֵחָ֑ת וְלֹֽא־ יָ֝שׁ֗וּב מִפְּנֵי־ חָֽרֶב׃
23A quiver rattles at his side, along with a flashing spear and lance. 23עָ֭לָיו תִּרְנֶ֣ה אַשְׁפָּ֑ה לַ֖הַב חֲנִ֣ית וְכִידֽוֹן׃
24Trembling with excitement, he devours the distance; he cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds. 24בְּרַ֣עַשׁ וְ֭רֹגֶז יְגַמֶּא־ אָ֑רֶץ וְלֹֽא־ יַ֝אֲמִ֗ין כִּי־ ק֥וֹל שׁוֹפָֽר׃
25At the [blast of] the trumpet, he snorts with fervor! He catches the scent of battle from afar, the shouts of captains and the cry of battle. 25בְּדֵ֤י שֹׁפָ֨ר ׀ יֹ֘אמַ֤ר הֶאָ֗ח וּֽ֭מֵרָחוֹק יָרִ֣יחַ מִלְחָמָ֑ה רַ֥עַם שָׂ֝רִים וּתְרוּעָֽה׃
26Does the hawk take flight by your understanding and spread his wings toward the south? 26הֲ‍ֽ֭מִבִּינָ֣תְךָ יַֽאֲבֶר־ נֵ֑ץ יִפְרֹ֖שׂ [כנפו] (כְּנָפָ֣יו) לְתֵימָֽן׃
27Does the eagle soar at your command and make his nest on high? 27אִם־ עַל־ פִּ֭יךָ יַגְבִּ֣יהַּ נָ֑שֶׁר וְ֝כִ֗י יָרִ֥ים קִנּֽוֹ׃
28He dwells on a cliff and lodges there; his stronghold is on a rocky crag. 28סֶ֣לַע יִ֭שְׁכֹּן וְיִתְלֹנָ֑ן עַֽל־ שֶׁן־ סֶ֝֗לַע וּמְצוּדָֽה׃
29From there he spies out food; his eyes see [it] from afar. 29מִשָּׁ֥ם חָֽפַר־ אֹ֑כֶל לְ֝מֵרָח֗וֹק עֵינָ֥יו יַבִּֽיטוּ׃
30His young ones feast on blood; and where the slain [are], there he [is].” 30[ואפרחו] (וְאֶפְרֹחָ֥יו) יְעַלְעוּ־ דָ֑ם וּבַאֲשֶׁ֥ר חֲ֝לָלִ֗ים שָׁ֣ם הֽוּא׃ פ
