Job 39:14–17

For she leaves her eggs to the earth

and lets them be warmed on the ground,

forgetting that a foot may crush them

and that the wild beast may trample them.

She deals cruelly with her young, as if they were not hers;

though her labor be in vain, yet she has no fear,

because God has made her forget wisdom

and given her no share in understanding.

She lays her eggs on the ground

and lets them warm in the sand,

unmindful that a foot may crush them,

that some wild animal may trample them.

She treats her young harshly, as if they were not hers;

she cares not that her labor was in vain,

for God did not endow her with wisdom

or give her a share of good sense.

She abandons her eggs on the ground

and lets them be warmed in the sand.

She forgets that a foot may crush them

or that some wild animal may trample them.

She treats her young harshly, as if they were not her own,

with no fear that her labor may have been in vain.

For God has deprived her of wisdom;

he has not endowed her with understanding.

She lays her eggs on top of the earth,

letting them be warmed in the dust.

She doesn’t worry that a foot might crush them

or a wild animal might destroy them.

She is harsh toward her young,

as if they were not her own.

She doesn’t care if they die.

For God has deprived her of wisdom.

He has given her no understanding.

Indeed, it leaves its eggs to the earth,

and it lets them be warmed on the ground,

and it forgets that a foot might crush an egg,

and a wild animal might trample it.

It deals cruelly with its young ones, as if they were not its own,

as if without fear that its labor were in vain,

because God made it forget wisdom,

and he did not give it a share in understanding.
