^[1]  Know you the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or can you mark when the hinds do calve?

^[1]  ---

^[2]  Can you number the months that they fulfill? or know you the time when they bring forth?

^[2]  ---

^[3]  They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.

^[3]  ---

^[4]  Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not to them.

^[4]  ---

^[5]  Who has sent out the wild ass free? or who has loosed the bands of the wild ass?

^[5]  ---

^[6]  Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.

^[6]  ---

^[7]  He scorns the multitude of the city, neither regards he the crying of the driver.

^[7]  ---

^[8]  The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searches after every green thing.

^[8]  ---

^[9]  Will the unicorn be willing to serve you, or abide by your crib?

^[9]  ---

^[10]  Can you bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after you?

^[10]  ---

^[11]  Will you trust him, because his strength is great? or will you leave your labor to him?

^[11]  ---

^[12]  Will you believe him, that he will bring home your seed, and gather it into your barn?

^[12]  ---

^[13]  Gave you the goodly wings to the peacocks? or wings and feathers to the ostrich?

^[13]  ---

^[14]  Which leaves her eggs in the earth, and warms them in dust,

^[14]  ---

^[15]  And forgets that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.

^[15]  ---

^[16]  She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labor is in vain without fear;

^[16]  ---

^[17]  Because God has deprived her of wisdom, neither has he imparted to her understanding.

^[17]  ---

^[18]  What time she lifts up herself on high, she scorns the horse and his rider.

^[18]  ---

^[19]  Have you given the horse strength? have you clothed his neck with thunder?

^[19]  ---

^[20]  Can you make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.

^[20]  ---

^[21]  He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength: he goes on to meet the armed men.

^[21]  ---

^[22]  He mocks at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turns he back from the sword.

^[22]  ---

^[23]  The quiver rattles against him, the glittering spear and the shield.

^[23]  ---

^[24]  He swallows the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believes he that it is the sound of the trumpet.

^[24]  ---

^[25]  He says among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smells the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

^[25]  ---

^[26]  Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?

^[26]  ---

^[27]  Does the eagle mount up at your command, and make her nest on high?

^[27]  ---

^[28]  She dwells and stays on the rock, on the crag of the rock, and the strong place.

^[28]  ---

^[29]  From there she seeks the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.

^[29]  ---

^[30]  Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.
