Job 39:11-26
-
11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
-
12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?
-
13 Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?
-
14 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,
-
15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
-
16 She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear;
-
17 Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
-
18 What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
-
19 Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
-
20 Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
-
21 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.
-
22 He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.
-
23 The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
-
24 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
-
25 He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
-
26 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?
