Orthodox Jewish Bible

Iyov 39:11-18 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

11. Wilt thou depend on him, because his ko'ach is great, or wilt thou hand over thy heavy work to him?

12. Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring in thy zera (grain), and gather it into thy goren (threshing floor)?

13. Joyfully flapping are the wings of the ostrich, but are her wings and feathers like the khasidah (stork)?

14. For the ostrich layeth her betzim (eggs) la'aretz (on the ground), and warmeth them in the sand,

15. And forgetteth that the regel may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.

16. She treats harshly her banim, as though they were not hers; though her labor should be in vain, yet she is without pachad (fear, care),

17. Because Elo'ah hath deprived her of chochmah, neither hath he imparted to her binah.

18. Yet at the et (time) she flaps her wings [to run], she laughs at the sus and his rider.
