New Testament

Job 39:14-23 Modern English Version (MEV)

14. who leaves her eggs in the earth,and warms them in dust,

15. and forgets that a foot may crush them,or that the wild beast may break them?

16. She is hardened against her young ones,as though they were not hers;her labor is in vain, without concern,

17. because God has deprived her of wisdom,nor has He imparted understanding to her.

18. When she lifts up herself on high,she scorns the horse and his rider.

19. “Have you given the horse strength?Have you clothed his neck with thunder?

20. Can you make him afraid like a grasshopper?The glory of his nostrils is awesome.

21. He paws in the valley and rejoices in his strength;he goes on to meet the armed men.

22. He mocks at fear and is not frightened,nor does he turn back from the sword.

23. The quiver rattles against him,the glittering spear and the shield.
