New Testament

Job 39:1-11 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

1. Do you know when mountain goats give birth?Have you watched the deer in labor?

2. Can you count the months they are pregnant so you can know the time they give birth?

3. They crouch down to give birth to their young;they deliver their newborn.

4. Their offspring are healthy and grow up in the open field.They leave and do not return.

5. Who set the wild donkey free?Who released the swift donkey from its harness?

6. I made the wilderness its home,and the salty wasteland its dwelling.

7. It scoffs at the noise of the villageand never hears the shouts of a driver.

8. It roams the mountains for its pastureland,searching for anything green.

9. Would the wild ox be willing to serve you?Would it spend the night by your feeding trough?

10. Can you hold the wild ox to a furrow by its harness?Will it plow the valleys behind you?

11. Can you depend on it because its strength is great?Would you leave it to do your hard work?
