Job 39:10-19 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

10. "Can you bind the wild ox in a furrow with ropes, Or will he harrow the valleys after you?

11. "Will you trust him because his strength is great And leave your labor to him?

12. "Will you have faith in him that he will return your grain And gather it from your threshing floor?

13. "The ostriches' wings flap joyously With the pinion and plumage of love,

14. For she abandons her eggs to the earth And warms them in the dust,

15. And she forgets that a foot may crush them, Or that a wild beast may trample them.

16. "She treats her young cruelly, as if they were not hers; Though her labor be in vain, she is unconcerned;

17. Because God has made her forget wisdom, And has not given her a share of understanding.

18. "When she lifts herself on high, She laughs at the horse and his rider.

19. "Do you give the horse his might? Do you clothe his neck with a mane?
