Job 39

¹Wilt thou hunt the pray for the lyon? or fill the appetite of the lyons whelpes,

²When they couch in their places, and remaine in the couert to lye in waite?

³Who prepareth for the rauen his meate, when his birdes crie vnto God, wandering for lacke of meate?

⁴Knowest thou the time when the wilde goates bring foorth yong? or doest thou marke when the hindes doe calue?

⁵Canst thou nomber the moneths that they fulfill? or knowest thou the time when they bring foorth?

⁶They bow them selues: they bruise their yong and cast out their sorowes.

⁷Yet their yong waxe fatte, and growe vp with corne: they goe foorth and returne not vnto them.

⁸Who hath set the wilde asse at libertie? or who hath loosed the bondes of the wilde asse?

⁹It is I which haue made the wildernesse his house, and the salt places his dwellings.

¹⁰He derideth the multitude of the citie: he heareth not the crie of the driuer.

¹¹He seeketh out the mountaine for his pasture, and searcheth after euery greene thing.

¹²Will the vnicorne serue thee? or will he tary by thy cribbe?

¹³Canst thou binde the vnicorne with his band to labour in the furrowe? or will he plowe the valleyes after thee?

¹⁴Wilt thou trust in him, because his strength is great, and cast off thy labour vnto him?
