10. Will you bind the wild ox with a rope in the furrow,and will he plow the valleys after you?
11. Will you depend on him for his great strengthand leave to him the fruits of your toil?
12. Can you rely on him to bring in your grainand gather in the yield of your threshing floor?
13. The wings of the ostrich flap away;her plumage is lacking in feathers.
14. When she abandons her eggs on the groundand lets them warm in the sand,
15. She forgets that a foot may crush them,that the wild beasts may trample them;
16. She cruelly disowns her youngand her labor is useless; she has no fear.
17. For God has withheld wisdom from herand given her no share in understanding.
