New Living Translation

Job 39:13-20 New Living Translation (NLT)

13. “The ostrich flaps her wings grandly,but they are no match for the feathers of the stork.

14. She lays her eggs on top of the earth,letting them be warmed in the dust.

15. She doesn’t worry that a foot might crush themor a wild animal might destroy them.

16. She is harsh toward her young,as if they were not her own.She doesn’t care if they die.

17. For God has deprived her of wisdom.He has given her no understanding.

18. But whenever she jumps up to run,she passes the swiftest horse with its rider.

19. “Have you given the horse its strengthor clothed its neck with a flowing mane?

20. Did you give it the ability to leap like a locust?Its majestic snorting is terrifying!
