Job 39:4–6

4 Their young thrive and grow strong in the wilds;

they leave and do not return.

5 “Who let the wild donkey go free?

Who untied its ropes?

6 I gave it the wasteland as its home,

the salt flats as its habitat.

4 Their young ones become strong; they grow up in the open;

they go out and do not return to them.

5 “Who has let the wild donkey go free?

Who has loosed the bonds of the swift donkey,

6 to whom I have given the arid plain for his home

and the salt land for his dwelling place?

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.

4 Their young grow up in the open fields,

then leave home and never return.

5 “Who gives the wild donkey its freedom?

Who untied its ropes?

6 I have placed it in the wilderness;

its home is the wasteland.

4 Their young ones are healthy,

They grow strong with grain;

They depart and do not return to them.

5 “Who set the wild donkey free?

Who loosed the bonds of the onager,

6 Whose home I have made the wilderness,

And the barren land his dwelling?

4 Their young ones grow big and strong in the wild country.

Then they leave their homes and do not return.

5 “Who let the wild donkey go free?

Who untied its ropes?

6 I am the one who gave the donkey the desert as its home;

I gave it the desert lands as a place to live.

4 Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field;

They go forth, and return not again.

5 Who hath sent out the wild ass free?

Or who hath loosed the bonds of the swift ass,

6 Whose home I have made the wilderness,

And the salt land his dwelling-place?

4 Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field, they go forth, and return not unto them. 5 Who hath sent out the wild ass free? and who hath loosed the bands of the onager, 6 Whose house I made the wilderness, and the salt plain his dwellings?

4 Their young are healthy and grow up in the wild. 

They leave and don’t come back. 

5 “Who lets the wild donkey go free? 

Who unties the ropes of the wild donkey? 

6 I gave it the desert to live in 

and the salt flats as its dwelling place. 

4 Their offspring are healthy and grow up in the open field.

They leave and do not return.

5 Who set the wild donkey free?

Who released the swift donkey from its harness?

6 I made the wilderness its home,

and the salty wasteland its dwelling.

4 Their young ones become strong; they grow up in the open;

they go forth and do not return to them.

5 “Who has let the wild ass go free?

Who has loosed the bonds of the swift ass,

6 to which I have given the steppe for its home,

the salt land for its dwelling place?

4 Their young ones grow strong; they grow up in the open;

they go forth and do not return to them.

5 “Who has sent forth the wild ass free?

And who has released the wild donkey’s bonds,

6 to which I have given the wilderness as its house

and the salt flat as its dwelling place?

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.

4 “Their offspring become strong, they grow up in the open field;

They leave and do not return to them.

5 “Who sent out the wild donkey free?

And who loosed the bonds of the swift donkey,

6 To whom I gave the wilderness for a home

And the salt land for his dwelling place?
