Job 39:1-10
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 39
1'Do you know the time the mountain goats give birth? Do you observe the calving of the deer? 2Can you count the months they fulfill, Or do you know the time they give birth? 3They kneel down, they deliver their young, They get rid of their labor pains. 4Their offspring become strong, they grow up in the open field; They leave and do not return to them. 5'Who sent the wild donkey out free? And who opened the bonds of the swift donkey, 6To whom I gave the wilderness as his home, And the salt land as his dwelling place? 7He laughs at the turmoil of the city, He does not hear the shouting of the taskmaster. 8He explores the mountains of his pasture, And searches after every green thing. 9Will the wild bull be willing to serve you, Or will he spend the night at your feeding trough? 10Can you tie down the wild bull in a furrow with ropes, Or will he plow the valleys after you?King James Version
Chapter 39
1Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve? 2Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth? 3They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows. 4Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them. 5Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass? 6Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings. 7He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver. 8The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing. 9Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? 10Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 39
1Do you know when mountain goats give birth? Have you watched the deer in labor? 2Can you count the months they are pregnant so you can know the time they give birth? 3They crouch down to give birth to their young; they deliver their newborn.
4Their offspring are healthy and grow up in the open field. They leave and do not return.
5Who set the wild donkey free? Who released the swift donkey from its harness?
6I made the desert its home, and the salty wasteland its dwelling.
7It scoffs at the noise of the village and never hears the shouts of a driver.
8It roams the mountains for its pastureland, searching for anything green.
9Would the wild ox be willing to serve you? Would it spend the night by your feeding trough?
10Can you hold the wild ox to a furrow by its harness? Will it plow the valleys behind you?
New Living Translation
Chapter 39
1'Do you know when the wild goats give birth? Have you watched as deer are born in the wild? 2Do you know how many months they carry their young? Are you aware of the time of their delivery? 3They crouch down to give birth to their young and deliver their offspring. 4Their young grow up in the open fields, then leave home and never return.English Standard Version
Chapter 39
1“Do you know when the mountain goats give birth? Do you observe the calving of the does? 2Can you number the months that they fulfill, and do you know the time when they give birth, 3when they crouch, bring forth their offspring, and are delivered of their young? 4Their young ones become strong; they grow up in the open; they go out and do not return to them. 5“Who has let the wild donkey go free? Who has loosed the bonds of the swift donkey, 6to whom I have given the arid plain for his home and the salt land for his dwelling place? 7He scorns the tumult of the city; he hears not the shouts of the driver. 8He ranges the mountains as his pasture, and he searches after every green thing. 9“Is the wild ox willing to serve you? Will he spend the night at your manger? 10Can you bind him in the furrow with ropes, or will he harrow the valleys after you?New International Version
Chapter 39
1Do you know when the mountain goats give birth? Do you watch when the doe bears her fawn? 2Do you count the months till they bear? Do you know the time they give birth? 3They crouch down and bring forth their young; their labor pains are ended.New King James Version
