욥기 39장 NASB
- 1 "Do you know the time the mountain goats give birth? Do you observe the calving of the deer?
- 2 "Can you count the months they fulfill Or do you know the time they give birth?
- 3 "They kneel down they bring forth their young They get rid of their labor pains.
- 4 "Their offspring become strong they grow up in the open field; They leave and do not return to them.
- 5 "Who sent out the wild donkey free? And who loosed the bonds of the swift donkey
- 6 To whom I gave the wilderness for a home And the salt land for his dwelling place?
- 7 "He scorns the tumult of the city The shoutings of the driver he does not hear.
- 8 "He explores the mountains for his pasture And searches after every green thing.
- 9 "Will the wild ox consent to serve you Or will he spend the night at your manger?
- 10 "Can you bind the wild ox in a furrow with ropes Or will he harrow the valleys after you?
- 11 "Will you trust him because his strength is great And leave your labor to him?
- 12 "Will you have faith in him that he will return your grain And gather it from your threshing floor?
- 13 "The ostriches' wings flap joyously With the pinion and plumage of love
- 14 For she abandons her eggs to the earth And warms them in the dust
- 15 And she forgets that a foot may crush them Or that a wild beast may trample them.
- 16 "She treats her young cruelly as if they were not hers; Though her labor be in vain she is unconcerned;
- 17 Because God has made her forget wisdom And has not given her a share of understanding.
- 18 "When she lifts herself on high She laughs at the horse and his rider.
- 19 "Do you give the horse his might? Do you clothe his neck with a mane?
- 20 "Do you make him leap like the locust? His majestic snorting is terrible.
- 21 "He paws in the valley and rejoices in his strength; He goes out to meet the weapons.
- 22 "He laughs at fear and is not dismayed; And he does not turn back from the sword.
- 23 "The quiver rattles against him The flashing spear and javelin.
- 24 "With shaking and rage he races over the ground And he does not stand still at the voice of the trumpet.
- 25 "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.
- 26 "Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars Stretching his wings toward the south?
- 27 "Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up And makes his nest on high?
- 28 "On the cliff he dwells and lodges Upon the rocky crag an inaccessible place.
- 29 "From there he spies out food; His eyes see it from afar.
- 30 "His young ones also suck up blood; And where the slain are there is he."
