10. Canst thou bind the wild ox to the furrow with a rope, or will it behind thee till the amakim (valleys)?
11. Wilt thou depend on him, because his ko'ach is great, or wilt thou hand over thy heavy work to him?
12. Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring in thy zera (grain), and gather it into thy goren (threshing floor)?
13. Joyfully flapping are the wings of the ostrich, but are her wings and feathers like the khasidah (stork)?
14. For the ostrich layeth her betzim (eggs) la'aretz (on the ground), and warmeth them in the sand,
15. And forgetteth that the regel may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
16. She treats harshly her banim, as though they were not hers; though her labor should be in vain, yet she is without pachad (fear, care),
17. Because Elo'ah hath deprived her of chochmah, neither hath he imparted to her binah.
18. Yet at the et (time) she flaps her wings [to run], she laughs at the sus and his rider.
19. Hast thou given the sus gevurah? Hast thou clothed his neck with a flowing mane?
20. Canst thou make him leap like an arbeh (locust)? The hod (glory) of his snorting strikes terror.
21. He paweth in the emek (valley), and rejoiceth in his koach; he chargeth into the fray.
22. He laugheth at pachad, and nothing fears; neither turneth he back from the cherev.
