ABP - Job - 39

39:1  Do you know the time of the birthing of the antelopes of the rock? And did you watch the birth pangs of hinds?

39:2  And did you count [3months 1their 2full] of birthing? [4birth pangs 1and 3their 2did you untie]?

39:3  And did you nourish their offspring outside of fear? [4birth pangs 1and 3their 2will you send away]?

39:4  [2shall rip forth 1Their young]; they shall be multiplied in offspring; their young will go forth and in no way shall return to them.

39:5  And who is the one letting [2donkey 1the wild] free? [5bonds 1and 4his 2who 3untied]?

39:6  For I established for his habitation a wilderness, and [2for his tents 1the salt-flats].

39:7  He ridicules the great multitude of the city, [3the complaint 1and 4of the tribute-gatherer 2hears not].

39:8  He shall survey the mountains as his pasture, and [2after 3every 4green thing 1he seeks].

39:9  [2shall 4be willing 1And 6to you 3the unicorn 5to serve], or to sleep at your stable?

39:10  And will you tie [2with 3straps 1his yoke], or will he draw furrows in the plain?

39:11  And do you rely upon him, because [2is great 1his strength]? and will you slacken [2for him 1your works]?

39:12  And do you trust that he will give back to you the seed, and carry it into your threshing-floor?

39:13  The wing delighting ostriches; but should [2conceive 1the stork 2and 3feathers]?

39:14  for she shall let [2go 3unto 4the earth 1her eggs], and [2upon 3the dust 1she shall incubate];

39:15  and she forgot that the foot will disperse them, and the wild beasts of the field will trample them.

39:16  She hardened against her offspring, so as to not bereave herself; in vain she tired without fear.

39:17  For [2quelled 3her 1God] wisdom, and portioned not to her with understanding.

39:18  In time [2in 3height 1she will raise up high]; she will ridicule the horse and his rider.

39:19  Or did you invest the horse with power, or clothe his neck in fear?

39:20  And did you invest in him full armor, and the glory of his breast in daring?

39:21  [2rooting up 3in 4the plain 1He prances], and he goes forth into the plain in strength.

39:22  [2meeting up with 3spears 1He ridicules], and in no way turns from an iron weapon.

39:23  Against him prance the bow and sword;

39:24  and in anger he shall obliterate the ground. In no way shall he trust until whenever [2signifies 1the trumpet];

39:25  and with the trumpet signifying, he says, Well done! And at a distance he smells war with leaping and crying out.

39:26  And from your higher knowledge [2set 1does the hawk] having the look of effrontery with wings fixed looking down towards the south?

39:27  And at your order [2rise up high 1does the eagle], and does the vulture [3upon 4its nest 1sit 2lodged],

39:28  upon the prominence of the rock and is concealed?

39:29  Being at that place he seeks grain; [3at a distance 1his eyes 2watch],

39:30  [3young 1and 2his] befoul themselves in blood; and where ever ones dying might be, immediately they are found.
