  39:1 ¶
[Say] if thou knowest the time of the bringing forth of the wild goats of the rock, and [if] thou hast marked the calving of the hinds: |
|
39:1 ¶
Knowest°°
thou the time°
when the wild goats°
of the rock°
bring forth?°°
[or] canst thou mark°°
when the hinds°
do calve?°° |
|
39:2
and [if] thou has hast numbered the full months of their being with young, and [if] thou hast relieved their pangs: |
|
39:2
Canst thou number°°
the months°
[that] they fulfil?°°
or knowest°°
thou the time°
when they bring forth?°° |
|
39:3
and hast reared their young without fear; and wilt thou loosen their pangs? |
|
39:3
They bow°°
themselves, they bring forth°°
their young ones,°
they cast out°°
their sorrows.° |
|
39:4
Their young will break forth; they will be multiplied with offspring: [their young] will go forth, and will not return to them. |
|
39:4
Their young ones°
are in good liking,°°
they grow up°°
with corn;°
they go forth,°°
and return°°
not°
unto them. |
|
39:5
And who is he that sent forth the wild ass free? and who loosed his bands? |
|
39:5
Who°
hath sent out°°
the wild ass°
free?°
or who°
hath loosed°°
the bands°
of the wild ass?° |
|
39:6
whereas I made his habitation the wilderness, and the salt land his coverts. |
|
39:6
Whose°
house°
I have made°°
the wilderness,°
and the barren°
land°
his dwellings.° |
|
39:7
He laughs to scorn the multitude of the city, and hears not the chiding of the tax-gatherer. |
|
39:7
He scorneth°°
the multitude°
of the city,°
neither°
regardeth°°
he the crying°
of the driver.°° |
|
39:8
He will survey the mountains [as] his pasture, and he seeks after every green thing. |
|
39:8
The range°
of the mountains°
[is] his pasture,°
and he searcheth°°
after°
every°
green thing.° |
|
39:9
And will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or to lie down at thy manger? |
|
39:9
Will the unicorn°
be willing°°
to serve°°
thee, or°
abide°°
by°
thy crib?° |
|
39:10
And wilt thou bind his yoke with thongs, or will he plough furrows for thee in the plain? |
|
39:10
Canst thou bind°°
the unicorn°
with his band°
in the furrow?°
or°
will he harrow°°
the valleys°
after°
thee? |
|
39:11
And dost thou trust him, because his strength is great? and wilt thou commit thy works to him? |
|
39:11
Wilt thou trust°°
him, because°
his strength°
[is] great?°
or wilt thou leave°°
thy labour°
to°
him? |
|
39:12
And wilt thou believe that he will return to thee thy seed, and bring [it] in [to] thy threshing-floor? |
|
39:12
Wilt thou believe°°
him, that°
he will bring home°°°°
thy seed,°
and gather°°
[it into] thy barn?° |
|
39:13
The peacock has a beautiful wing: if the stork and the ostrich conceive, [it is worthy of notice], |
|
39:13
[Gavest thou] the goodly°°
wings°
unto the peacocks?°°°
or°
wings°
and feathers°
unto the ostrich?° |
|
39:14
for [the ostrich] will leave her eggs in the ground, and warm them on the dust, |
|
39:14
Which°
leaveth°°
her eggs°
in the earth,°
and warmeth°°
them in°
dust,° |
|
39:15
and has forgotten that the foot will scatter them, and the wild beasts of the field trample them. |
|
39:15
And forgetteth°°
that°
the foot°
may crush°°
them, or that the wild°
beast°
may break°°
them. |
|
39:16
She has hardened [herself] against her young ones, as though [she bereaved] not herself: she labours in vain without fear. |
|
39:16
She is hardened°°
against her young ones,°
as though [they were] not°
hers: her labour°
is in vain°
without°
fear;° |
|
39:17
For God has withholden wisdom from her, and not given her a portion in understanding. |
|
39:17
Because°
Eloah°
hath deprived°°
her of wisdom,°
neither°
hath he imparted°°
to her understanding.° |
|
39:18
In her season she will lift herself on high; she will scorn the horse and his rider. |
|
39:18
What time°
she lifteth up°°
herself°
on high,°
she scorneth°°
the horse°
and his rider.°° |
|
39:19
Hast thou invested the horse with strength, and clothed his neck with terror? |
|
39:19
Hast thou given°°
the horse°
strength?°
hast thou clothed°°
his neck°
with thunder?° |
|
39:20
And hast thou clad him in perfect armour, and made his breast glorious with courage? |
|
39:20
Canst thou make him afraid°°
as a grasshopper?°
the glory°
of his nostrils°
[is] terrible.° |
|
39:21
He paws exulting in the plain, and goes forth in strength into the plain. |
|
39:21
He paweth°°
in the valley,°
and rejoiceth°°
in [his] strength:°
he goeth on°°
to meet°°
the armed men.° |
|
39:22
He laughs to scorn a king as he meets him, and will by no means turn back from the sword. |
|
39:22
He mocketh°°
at fear,°
and is not°
affrighted;°°
neither°
turneth he back°°
from°°
the sword.° |
|
39:23
The bow and sword resound against him; and [his] rage will swallow up the ground: |
|
39:23
The quiver°
rattleth°°
against°
him, the glittering°
spear°
and the shield.° |
|
39:24
and he will not believe until the trumpet sounds. |
|
39:24
He swalloweth°°
the ground°
with fierceness°
and rage:°
neither°
believeth°°
he that°
[it is] the sound°
of the trumpet.° |
|
39:25
And when the trumpet sounds, he says, Aha! and afar off he smells the war with prancing and neighing. |
|
39:25
He saith°°
among°
the trumpets,°
Ha,°
ha;°
and he smelleth°°
the battle°
afar off,°°
the thunder°
of the captains,°
and the shouting.° |
|
39:26
And does the hawk remain steady by thy wisdom, having spread out her wings unmoved, looking toward the region of the south? |
|
39:26
Doth the hawk°
fly°°
by thy wisdom,°°
[and] stretch°°
her wings°
toward the south?° |
|
39:27
And does the eagle rise at thy command, and the vulture remain sitting over his nest, |
|
39:27
Doth the eagle°
mount up°°
at°
thy command,°
and make°°
her nest°
on high?°°° |
|
39:28
on a crag of a rock, and in a secret [place]? |
|
39:28
She dwelleth°°
and abideth°°
on the rock,°
upon°
the crag°
of the rock,°
and the strong place.° |
|
39:29
Thence he seeks food, his eyes observe from far. |
|
39:29
From thence°°
she seeketh°°
the prey,°
[and] her eyes°
behold°°
afar off.°° |
|
39:30
And his young ones roll themselves in blood, and wherever the carcasses may be, immediately they are found. |
|
39:30
Her young ones°
also suck up°°
blood:°
and where°
the slain°
[are], there°
[is] she.° |
