14. For she leaveth her eggs to the earth, and warmeth them in the dust,
15. And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the beast of the field may trample them.
16. She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers; her labour is in vain, without her concern.
17. For +God hath deprived her of wisdom, and hath not furnished her with understanding.
18. What time she lasheth herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
19. Hast thou given strength to the horse? hast thou clothed his neck with the quivering mane?
20. Dost thou make him to leap as a locust? His majestic snorting is terrible.
21. He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength; he goeth forth to meet the armed host.
22. He laugheth at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from before the sword.
23. The quiver rattleth upon him, the glittering spear and the javelin.
