God continues with questions about the wild animals: the mountain goat, the wild donkey, the ox, the ostrich, the horse and the hawk, showing that he cares for and governs all creatures.
1 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth ? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve ?
2 Canst thou number the months that they fulfil ? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth ?
3 They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones , they cast out their sorrows .
4 Their young ones are in good liking , they grow up with corn ; they go forth , and return not unto them.
5 Who hath sent out the wild ass free ? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass ?
6 Whose house I have made the wilderness , and the barren land his dwellings .
7 He scorneth the multitude of the city , neither regardeth he the crying of the driver .
8 The range of the mountains is his pasture , and he searcheth after every green thing .
9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib ?
10 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow ? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great ? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed , and gather it into thy barn ?
13 Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks ? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich ?
14 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth , and warmeth them in dust ,
15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
16 She is hardened against her young ones , as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear ;
17 Because God hath deprived her of wisdom , neither hath he imparted to her understanding .
18 What time she lifteth up herself on high , she scorneth the horse and his rider .
19 Hast thou given the horse strength ? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder ?
20 Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper ? the glory of his nostrils is terrible .
21 He paweth in the valley , and rejoiceth in his strength : he goeth on to meet the armed men .
22 He mocketh at fear , and is not affrighted ; neither turneth he back from the sword .
23 The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield .
24 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage : neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet .
25 He saith among the trumpets , Ha , ha ; and he smelleth the battle afar off , the thunder of the captains , and the shouting .
26 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom , and stretch her wings toward the south ?
27 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command , and make her nest on high ?
28 She dwelleth and abideth on the rock , upon the crag of the rock , and the strong place .
29 From thence she seeketh the prey , and her eyes behold afar off .
30 Her young ones also suck up blood : and where the slain are, there is she .
