Job 39:13–26

13 “The ostriches’ wings flap joyously

With the pinion and plumage of 1love,

14 For she abandons her eggs to the earth

And warms them in the dust,

15 And she forgets that a foot may crush 1them,

Or that a wild beast may trample 1them.

16 “She treats her young acruelly, as if they were not hers;

Though her labor be in vain, she is 1unconcerned;

17 Because God has made her forget wisdom,

And has not given her a share of understanding.

18 “When she lifts herself 1on high,

She laughs at the horse and his rider.

19 “Do you give the horse his might?

Do you clothe his neck with a mane?

20 “Do you make him aleap like the locust?

His majestic bsnorting is terrible.

21 “1He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength;

He agoes out to meet the weapons.

22 “He laughs at fear and is not dismayed;

And he does not turn back from the sword.

23 “The quiver rattles against him,

The flashing spear and javelin.

24 “With shaking and rage he 1races over the ground,

And he does not stand still at the voice of the trumpet.

25 “As often as the trumpet sounds he says, ‘Aha!’

And he scents the battle from afar,

And the thunder of the captains and the war cry.

26 “Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars,

Stretching his wings toward the south?
