Job 39 v 1–10

2026-10-22 (The New Jerusalem) · Job 38 v 34–41

1“Do you know the time when the mountain goats give birth? Do you watch when the doe bears fawns?

2Can you count the months that they fulfill? Or do you know the time when they give birth?

3They bow themselves. They bear their young. They end their labor pains.

4Their young ones become strong. They grow up in the open field. They go out, and don’t return again.

5“Who has set the wild donkey free? Or who has loosened the bonds of the swift donkey,

6whose home I have made the wilderness, and the salt land his dwelling place?

7He scorns the tumult of the city, neither does he hear the shouting of the driver.

8The range of the mountains is his pasture, He searches after every green thing.

9“Will the wild ox be content to serve you? Or will he stay by your feeding trough?

10Can you hold the wild ox in the furrow with his harness? Or will he till the valleys after you?
