14. The ostrich lays its eggs on the groundand lets them warm in the sand.
15. It does not stop to think that a foot might step on them and crush them;it does not care that some animal might walk on them.
16. The ostrich is cruel to its young, as if they were not even its own.It does not care that its work is for nothing,
17. because God did not give the ostrich wisdom;God did not give it a share of good sense.
18. But when the ostrich gets up to run, it is so fastthat it laughs at the horse and its rider.
19. “Job, are you the one who gives the horse its strengthor puts a flowing mane on its neck?
20. Do you make the horse jump like a locust?It scares people with its proud snorting.
21. It paws wildly, enjoying its strength,and charges into battle.
22. It laughs at fear and is afraid of nothing;it does not run away from the sword.
23. The bag of arrows rattles against the horse’s side,along with the flashing spears and swords.
24. With great excitement, the horse races over the ground;and it cannot stand still when it hears the trumpet.
25. When the trumpet blows, the horse snorts, ‘Aha!’It smells the battle from far away;it hears the shouts of commanders and the battle cry.
