Job 39:9–12

“Is the wild ox willing to serve you?

Will he spend the night at your manger?

Can you bind him in the furrow with ropes,

or will he harrow the valleys after you?

Will you depend on him because his strength is great,

and will you leave to him your labor?

Do you have faith in him that he will return your grain

and gather it to your threshing floor?

“Will the wild ox consent to serve you?

Will it stay by your manger at night?

Can you hold it to the furrow with a harness?

Will it till the valleys behind you?

Will you rely on it for its great strength?

Will you leave your heavy work to it?

Can you trust it to haul in your grain

and bring it to your threshing floor?

“Will the wild ox consent to being tamed?

Will it spend the night in your stall?

Can you hitch a wild ox to a plow?

Will it plow a field for you?

Given its strength, can you trust it?

Can you leave and trust the ox to do your work?

Can you rely on it to bring home your grain

and deliver it to your threshing floor?

“Is the wild ox willing to serve you,

or will he spend the night at your feeding trough?

Can you tie the wild ox with its rope to a furrow,

or will it harrow the valleys after you?

Can you trust it because its strength is great,

or will you hand your labor over to it?

Can you rely on it that it will return your grain

and that it will gather it to your threshing floor?

Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee,

Or abide by thy crib?

Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow?

Or will he harrow the valleys after thee?

Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great?

Or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?

Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed,

And gather it into thy barn?
