Job 39:5-13 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. Who has set the wild ass free, and who has released his bonds?

6. I have given a house in solitude to him, and his tabernacle is in the salted land.

7. He despises the crowded city; he does not pay attention to the bellow of the tax collector.

8. He looks around the mountains of his pasture, and he searches everywhere for green plants.

9. Will the rhinoceros be willing to serve you, and will he remain in your stall?

10. Can you detain the rhinoceros with your harness to plough for you, and will he loosen the soil of the furrows behind you?

11. Will you put your faith in his great strength, and delegate your labors to him?

12. Will you trust him to return to you the seed, and to gather it on your drying floor?

13. The wing of the ostrich is like the wings of the heron, and of the hawk.
