International Children’s Bible

Job 39:1-10 International Children’s Bible (ICB)

1. “Do you know when the mountain goats give birth?Do you watch when the deer gives birth to her fawn?

2. Do you count the months until they give birth?Do you know when the time is right for them to give birth?

3. They lie down, and their young are born.Then the pain of giving birth is over.

4. Their young ones grow and become strong in the wild country.Then they leave their homes and do not come back.

5. “Who let the wild donkey go free?Who untied his ropes?

6. I am the one who gave the donkey the desert as his home.I gave him the desert lands as a place to live.

7. The wild donkey laughs at the confusion in the city.He does not hear the drivers shout.

8. He roams the hills looking for pasture.And he looks for anything green to eat.

9. “Will the wild ox agree to serve you?Will he stay by your feeding box at night?

10. Can you hold him to the plowed row with a harness?Will he plow the valleys for you?
