The LORD's Challenge Continues
Chapter 39
-
"Do you know when the wild goats give birth? Have you watched as deer are born in the wild?
-
Do you know how many months they carry their young? Are you aware of the time of their delivery?
-
They crouch down to give birth to their young and deliver their offspring.
-
Their young grow up in the open fields, then leave home and never return.
-
"Who gives the wild donkey its freedom? Who untied its ropes?
-
I have placed it in the wilderness; its home is the wasteland.
-
It hates the noise of the city and has no driver to shout at it.
-
The mountains are its pastureland, where it searches for every blade of grass.
-
"Will the wild ox consent to being tamed? Will it spend the night in your stall?
-
Can you hitch a wild ox to a plow? Will it plow a field for you?
-
Given its strength, can you trust it? Can you leave and trust the ox to do your work?
-
Can you rely on it to bring home your grain and deliver it to your threshing floor?
-
"The ostrich flaps her wings grandly, but they are no match for the feathers of the stork.
-
She lays her eggs on top of the earth, letting them be warmed in the dust.
-
She doesn't worry that a foot might crush them or a wild animal might destroy them.
-
She is harsh toward her young, as if they were not her own. She doesn't care if they die.
-
For God has deprived her of wisdom. He has given her no understanding.
-
But whenever she jumps up to run, she passes the swiftest horse with its rider.
-
"Have you given the horse its strength or clothed its neck with a flowing mane?
-
Did you give it the ability to leap like a locust? Its majestic snorting is terrifying!
-
It paws the earth and rejoices in its strength when it charges out to battle.
-
It laughs at fear and is unafraid. It does not run from the sword.
-
The arrows rattle against it, and the spear and javelin flash.
-
It paws the ground fiercely and rushes forward into battle when the ram's horn blows.
-
It snorts at the sound of the horn. It senses the battle in the distance. It quivers at the captain's commands and the noise of battle.
-
"Is it your wisdom that makes the hawk soar and spread its wings toward the south?
-
Is it at your command that the eagle rises to the heights to make its nest?
-
It lives on the cliffs, making its home on a distant, rocky crag.
-
From there it hunts its prey, keeping watch with piercing eyes.
-
Its young gulp down blood. Where there's a carcass, there you'll find it."
