1. Hast thou known the time of The bearing of the wild goats of the rock? The bringing forth of hinds thou dost mark!
2. Thou dost number the months they fulfil? And thou hast known the time of their bringing forth!
3. They bow down, Their young ones they bring forth safely, Their pangs they cast forth.
4. Safe are their young ones, They grow up in the field, they have gone out, And have not returned to them.
5. Who hath sent forth the wild ass free? Yea, the bands of the wild ass who opened?
6. Whose house I have made the wilderness, And his dwellings the barren land,
7. He doth laugh at the multitude of a city, The cries of an exactor he heareth not.
8. The range of mountains [is] his pasture, And after every green thing he seeketh.
9. Is a Reem willing to serve thee? Doth he lodge by thy crib?
10. Dost thou bind a Reem in a furrow [with] his thick band? Doth he harrow valleys after thee?
11. Dost thou trust in him because great [is] his power? And dost thou leave unto him thy labour?
