New Testament

Job 39:1-7 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. "Job, do you know when mountain goats have their babies? Do you watch when female deer give birth?

2. Do you count the months until the animals have their babies? Do you know the time when they give birth?

3. They bend their back legs and have their babies. Then their labor pains stop.

4. Their little ones grow strong and healthy in the wild. They leave and do not come home again.

5. "Who let the wild donkeys go free? Who untied their ropes?

6. I gave them the dry and empty land as their home. I gave them salt flats to live in.

7. They laugh at all of the noise in town. They do not hear the shouts of the donkey drivers.
