Job 39:14-17 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

14. Ostriches lay their eggs on the ground. They let them get warm in the sand.

15. They do not know that something might step on them. A wild animal might walk all over them.

16. Ostriches are mean to their little ones. They treat them as if they did not belong to them. They do not care that their work was useless.

17. I did not provide ostriches with wisdom. I did not give them good sense.
