1Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? Or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
1Hast thou known the time of The bearing of the wild goats of the rock? The bringing forth of hinds thou dost mark!
2Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? Or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
2Thou dost number the months they fulfil? And thou hast known the time of their bringing forth!
3They bow themselves, they bring forth their young, They cast out their pains.
3They bow down, Their young ones they bring forth safely, Their pangs they cast forth.
4Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field; They go forth, and return not again.
4Safe are their young ones, They grow up in the field, they have gone out, And have not returned to them.
5 Who hath sent out the wild ass free? Or who hath loosed the bonds of the swift ass,
5Who hath sent forth the wild ass free? Yea, the bands of the wild ass who opened?
6Whose home I have made the wilderness, And the salt land his dwelling-place?
6Whose house I have made the wilderness, And his dwellings the barren land,
7He scorneth the tumult of the city, Neither heareth he the shoutings of the driver.

8The range of mountains <FI>is<Fi> his pasture, And after every green thing he seeketh.
9Will the wild-ox be content to serve thee? Or will he abide by thy crib?
9Is a Reem willing to serve thee? Doth he lodge by thy crib?
10Canst thou bind the wild-ox with his band in the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
10Dost thou bind a Reem in a furrow <FI>with<Fi> his thick band? Doth he harrow valleys after thee?
11Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? Or wilt thou leave to him thy labor?
11Dost thou trust in him because great <FI>is<Fi> his power? And dost thou leave unto him thy labour?
12Wilt thou confide in him, that he will bring home thy seed, And gatherthe grainof thy threshing-floor?
12Dost thou trust in him That he doth bring back thy seed? And <FI>to<Fi> thy threshing-floor doth gather <FI>it<Fi> ?
13 The wings of the ostrich wave proudly; But are they the pinions and plumage of love?
13The wing of the rattling ones exulteth, Whether the pinion of the ostrich or hawk.

14For she leaveth on the earth her eggs, And on the dust she doth warm them,
15And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, Or that the wild beast may trample them.
15And she forgetteth that a foot may press it, And a beast of the field tread it down.
16She dealeth hardly with her young ones, as if they were not hers: Though her labor be in vain, she is without fear;
16Her young ones it hath hardened without her, In vain <FI>is<Fi> her labour without fear.
17Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, Neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
17For God hath caused her to forget wisdom, And He hath not given a portion To her in understanding:
18What time she lifteth up herself on high, She scorneth the horse and his rider.
18At the time on high she lifteth herself up, She laugheth at the horse and at his rider.
19 Hast thou given the horsehismight? Hast thou clothed his neck with the quivering mane?
19Dost thou give to the horse might? Dost thou clothe his neck <FI>with<Fi> a mane?
20Hast thou made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his snorting is terrible.
20Dost thou cause him to rush as a locust? The majesty of his snorting <FI>is<Fi> terrible.
21He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: He goeth out to meet the armed men.
21They dig in a valley, and he rejoiceth in power, He goeth forth to meet the armour.
22He mocketh at fear, and is not dismayed; Neither turneth he back from the sword.
22He laugheth at fear, and is not affrighted, And he turneth not back from the face of the sword.
23The quiver rattleth against him, The flashing spear and the javelin.
23Against him rattle doth quiver, The flame of a spear, and a halbert.
24He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage; Neither believeth he that it is the voice of the trumpet.
24With trembling and rage he swalloweth the ground, And remaineth not stedfast Because of the sound of a trumpet.
25As oft as the trumpetsoundethhe saith, Aha! And he smelleth the battle afar off, The thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
25Among the trumpets he saith, Aha, And from afar he doth smell battle, Roaring of princes and shouting.
26 Is it by thy wisdom that the hawk soareth, And stretcheth her wings toward the south?
26By thine understanding flieth a hawk? Spreadeth he his wings to the south?
27Is it at thy command that the eagle mounteth up, And maketh her nest on high?
27At thy command goeth an eagle up high? Or lifteth he up his nest?

28A rock he doth inhabit, Yea, he lodgeth on the tooth of a rock, and fortress.
