Job 39 — GNV
39Verse 1Wilt thou hunt the pray for the lyon? or fill the appetite of the lyons whelpes,Verse 2When they couch in their places, and remaine in the couert to lye in waite?Verse 3Who prepareth for the rauen his meate, when his birdes crie vnto God, wandering for lacke of meate?Verse 4Knowest thou the time when the wilde goates bring foorth yong? or doest thou marke when the hindes doe calue?Verse 5Canst thou nomber the moneths that they fulfill? or knowest thou the time when they bring foorth?Verse 6They bow them selues: they bruise their yong and cast out their sorowes.Verse 7Yet their yong waxe fatte, and growe vp with corne: they goe foorth and returne not vnto them.Verse 8Who hath set the wilde asse at libertie? or who hath loosed the bondes of the wilde asse?Verse 9It is I which haue made the wildernesse his house, and the salt places his dwellings.Verse 10He derideth the multitude of the citie: he heareth not the crie of the driuer.Verse 11He seeketh out the mountaine for his pasture, and searcheth after euery greene thing.Verse 12Will the vnicorne serue thee? or will he tary by thy cribbe?Verse 13Canst thou binde the vnicorne with his band to labour in the furrowe? or will he plowe the valleyes after thee?Verse 14Wilt thou trust in him, because his strength is great, and cast off thy labour vnto him?Verse 15Wilt thou beleeue him, that he will bring home thy seede, and gather it vnto thy barne?Verse 16Hast thou giuen the pleasant wings vnto the peacockes? or winges and feathers vnto the ostriche?Verse 17Which leaueth his egges in the earth, and maketh them hote in the dust,Verse 18And forgetteth that the foote might scatter the, or that the wild beast might breake the.Verse 19He sheweth himselfe cruell vnto his yong ones, as they were not his, and is without feare, as if he trauailed in vaine.Verse 20For God had depriued him of wisedom, and hath giuen him no part of vnderstanding.Verse 21When time is, he mounteth on hie: he mocketh the horse and his rider.Verse 22Hast thou giuen the horse strength? or couered his necke with neying?Verse 23Hast thou made him afraid as the grashopper? his strong neying is fearefull.Verse 24He diggeth in the valley, and reioyceth in his strength: he goeth foorth to meete the harnest man.Verse 25He mocketh at feare, and is not afraid, and turneth not backe from the sworde,Verse 26Though the quiuer rattle against him, the glittering speare and the shield.Verse 27He swalloweth the ground for fearcenes and rage, and he beleeueth not that it is the noise of the trumpet.Verse 28He sayth among the trumpets, Ha, ha: hee smellleth the battell afarre off, and the noyse of the captaines, and the shouting.Verse 29Shall the hauke flie by thy wisedome, stretching out his wings toward the South?Verse 30Doeth the eagle mount vp at thy commandement, or make his nest on hie?Verse 31Shee abideth and remaineth in the rocke, euen vpon the toppe of the rocke, and the tower.Verse 32From thence she spieth for meate, and her eyes beholde afarre off.Verse 33His young ones also sucke vp blood: and where the slaine are, there is she.Verse 34Moreouer ye Lord spake vnto Iob, and said,Verse 35Is this to learne to striue with the Almightie? he that reprooueth God, let him answere to it.Verse 36Then Iob answered the Lord, saying,Verse 37Beholde, I am vile: what shall I answere thee? I will lay mine hand vpon my mouth.Verse 38Once haue I spoken, but I will answere no more, yea twise, but I will proceede no further.
