Job 39:1–4

1 “Do you know when the mountain goats give birth?

Do you watch when the doe bears her fawn?

2 Do you count the months till they bear?

Do you know the time they give birth?

3 They crouch down and bring forth their young;

their labor pains are ended.

4 Their young thrive and grow strong in the wilds;

they leave and do not return.

and are delivered of their young?

they go out and do not return to them.

They go forth, and return not unto them.

and deliver their offspring.

4 Their young grow up in the open fields,

then leave home and never return.
