15. She forgets that a foot may crush them,Or that a wild beast may break them.
16. She treats her young harshly, as though they were not hers;Her labor is in vain, without concern,
17. Because God deprived her of wisdom,And did not endow her with understanding.
18. When she lifts herself on high,She scorns the horse and its rider.
19. “Have you given the horse strength?Have you clothed his neck with thunder?
20. Can you frighten him like a locust?His majestic snorting strikes terror.
21. He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength;He gallops into the clash of arms.
22. He mocks at fear, and is not frightened;Nor does he turn back from the sword.
23. The quiver rattles against him,The glittering spear and javelin.
24. He devours the distance with fierceness and rage;Nor does he come to a halt because the trumpet has sounded.
