- "Do you know the time the mountain goats give birth? Do you observe the calving of the deer?
- "Can you count the months they fulfill, Or do you know the time they give birth?
- "They kneel down, they bring forth their young, They get rid of their labor pains.
- "Their offspring become strong, they grow up in the open field; They leave and do not return to them.
- "Who sent out the wild donkey free? And who loosed the bonds of the swift donkey,
|
- To whom I gave the wilderness for a home And the salt land for his dwelling place?
- "He scorns the tumult of the city, The shoutings of the driver he does not hear.
- "He explores the mountains for his pasture And searches after every green thing.
- "Will the wild ox consent to serve you, Or will he spend the night at your manger?
- "Can you bind the wild ox in a furrow with ropes, Or will he harrow the valleys after you?
|
- "Will you trust him because his strength is great And leave your labor to him?
- "Will you have faith in him that he will return your grain And gather it from your threshing floor?
- "The ostriches' wings flap joyously With the pinion and plumage of love,
- For she abandons her eggs to the earth And warms them in the dust,
- And she forgets that a foot may crush them, Or that a wild beast may trample them.
|
- "She treats her young cruelly, as if they were not hers; Though her labor be in vain, she is unconcerned;
- Because God has made her forget wisdom, And has not given her a share of understanding.
- "When she lifts herself on high, She laughs at the horse and his rider.
- "Do you give the horse his might? Do you clothe his neck with a mane?
- "Do you make him leap like the locust? His majestic snorting is terrible.
|
- "He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength; He goes out to meet the weapons.
- "He laughs at fear and is not dismayed; And he does not turn back from the sword.
- "The quiver rattles against him, The flashing spear and javelin.
- "With shaking and rage he races over the ground, And he does not stand still at the voice of the trumpet.
- "As often as the trumpet sounds he says, 'Aha!' And he scents the battle from afar, And the thunder of the captains and the war cry.
|
- "Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars, Stretching his wings toward the south?
- "Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up And makes his nest on high?
- "On the cliff he dwells and lodges, Upon the rocky crag, an inaccessible place.
- "From there he spies out food; His eyes see it from afar.
- "His young ones also suck up blood; And where the slain are, there is he."
