## 📜 Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
[[#Verse 01.]] “Are you acquainted with the way the mountain goats give birth?
Do you watch as the wild deer give birth to their young?
[[#Verse 02.]] Do you count the months they must fulfill,
and do you know the time they give birth?
[[#Verse 03.]] They crouch, they bear their young,
they bring forth the offspring they have carried.
[[#Verse 04.]] Their young grow strong, and grow up in the open;
they go off, and do not return to them.
[[#Verse 05.]] Who let the wild donkey go free?
Who released the bonds of the donkey,
[[#Verse 06.]] to whom I appointed the arid rift valley for its home,
the salt wastes as its dwelling place?
[[#Verse 07.]] It scorns the tumult in the town;
it does not hear the shouts of a driver.
[[#Verse 08.]] It ranges the hills as its pasture,
and searches after every green plant.
[[#Verse 09.]] Is the wild ox willing to be your servant?
Will it spend the night at your feeding trough?
[[#Verse 10.]] Can you bind the wild ox to a furrow with its rope,
will it till the valleys, following after you?
[[#Verse 11.]] Will you rely on it because its strength is great?
Will you commit your labor to it?
[[#Verse 12.]] Can you count on it to bring in your grain,
and gather the grain to your threshing floor?
[[#Verse 13.]] “The wings of the ostrich flap with joy,
but are they the pinions and plumage of a stork?
[[#Verse 14.]] For she leaves her eggs on the ground,
and lets them be warmed on the soil.
[[#Verse 15.]] She forgets that a foot might crush them,
or that a wild animal might trample them.
[[#Verse 16.]] She is harsh with her young, as if they were not hers; she is unconcerned about the uselessness of her labor.
[[#Verse 17.]] For God deprived her of wisdom, and did not impart understanding to her.
[[#Verse 18.]] But as soon as she springs up, she laughs at the horse and its rider.
[[#Verse 19.]] “Do you give the horse its strength? Do you clothe its neck with a mane?
[[#Verse 20.]] Do you make it leap like a locust?
Its proud neighing is terrifying!
[[#Verse 21.]] It paws the ground in the valley, exulting mightily, it goes out to meet the weapons.
[[#Verse 22.]] It laughs at fear and is not dismayed; it does not shy away from the sword.
[[#Verse 23.]] On it the quiver rattles; the lance and javelin flash.
[[#Verse 24.]] In excitement and impatience it consumes the ground; it cannot stand still when the trumpet is blown.
[[#Verse 25.]] At the sound of the trumpet, it says, ‘Aha!’ And from a distance it catches the scent of battle, the thunderous shouting of commanders, and the battle cries.
[[#Verse 26.]] “Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars and spreads its wings toward the south?
[[#Verse 27.]] Is it at your command that the eagle soars, and builds its nest on high?
[[#Verse 28.]] It lives on a rock and spends the night there,
on a rocky crag and a fortress.
[[#Verse 29.]] From there it spots its prey,
its eyes gaze intently from a distance.
[[#Verse 30.]] And its young ones devour the blood,
and where the dead carcasses are,
there it is.”
