Holman Christian Standard Bible

Job 39:4-12 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

4. Their offspring are healthy and grow up in the open field.They leave and do not return.

5. Who set the wild donkey free?Who released the swift donkey from its harness?

6. I made the wilderness its home,and the salty wasteland its dwelling.

7. It scoffs at the noise of the villageand never hears the shouts of a driver.

8. It roams the mountains for its pastureland,searching for anything green.

9. Would the wild ox be willing to serve you?Would it spend the night by your feeding trough?

10. Can you hold the wild ox to a furrow by its harness?Will it plow the valleys behind you?

11. Can you depend on it because its strength is great?Would you leave it to do your hard work?

12. Can you trust the wild ox to harvest your grainand bring it to your threshing floor?
