Job 39
Reading Job chapter 39 in the World English Bible, public-domain text from 2000.
Verses 1–10
1 “Do you know the time when the mountain goats give birth? Do you watch when the doe bears fawns?
2 Can you count the months that they fulfil? Or do you know the time when they give birth?
3 They bow themselves. They bear their young. They end their labour pains.
4 Their young ones become strong. They grow up in the open field. They go out, and don’t return again.
5 “Who has set the wild donkey free? Or who has loosened the bonds of the swift donkey,
6 whose home I have made the wilderness, and the salt land his dwelling place?
7 He scorns the tumult of the city, neither does he hear the shouting of the driver.
8 The range of the mountains is his pasture. He searches after every green thing.
9 “Will the wild ox be content to serve you? Or will he stay by your feeding trough?
10 Can you hold the wild ox in the furrow with his harness? Or will he till the valleys after you?
