13. “The wings of the ostrich wave proudly,but are they the pinions and plumage of love?
14. For she leaves her eggs to the earthand lets them be warmed on the ground,
15. forgetting that a foot may crush themand that the wild beast may trample them.
16. She deals cruelly with her young, as if they were not hers;though her labor be in vain, yet she has no fear,
17. because God has made her forget wisdomand given her no share in understanding.
18. When she rouses herself to flee,she laughs at the horse and his rider.
