Of the wild goats and hinds.

1 ¶ Knowestº ª thou the timeº when the wild goatsº of the rockº bring forth?º ª [or] canst thou markº ª when the hindsº do calve?º ª 2 Canst thou numberº ª the monthsº [that] they fulfil?º ª or knowestº ª thou the timeº when they bring forth?º ª 3 They bowº ª themselves, they bring forthº ª their young ones,º they cast outº ª their sorrows.º 4 Their young onesº are in good liking,º ª they grow upº ª with corn;º they go forth,º ª and returnº ª not² unto them.

5 Who² hath sent outº ª the wild assº free?º or who² hath loosedº ª the bandsº of the wild ass?º 6 Whose² houseº I have madeº ª the wilderness,º and the barren¹ land² his dwellings.º 7 He scornethº ª the multitudeº of the city,º neither² regardethº ª he the cryingº of the driver.º ª 8 The rangeº of the mountainsº [is] his pasture,º and he searchethº ª afterº every² green thing.º

The peacock, stork, and ostrich.

13 [Gavest thou] the goodly¹ ² wingsº unto the peacocks?¹ ª ² or² wingsº and feathersº unto the ostrich?º 14 Which² leavethº ª her eggsº in the earth,º and warmethº ª them in² dust,º 15 And forgettethº ª that² the footº may crushº ª them, or that the wildº beastº may breakº ª them. 16 She is hardenedº ª against her young ones,º as though [they were] notº hers: her labourº is in vainº without² fear;º 17 Because² Godº hath deprivedº ª her of wisdom,º neither² hath he impartedº ª to her understanding.º 18 What timeº she lifteth up¹ ª herself² on high,º she scornethº ª the horseº and his rider.º ª

19 Hast thou givenº ª the horseº strength?º hast thou clothedº ª his neckº with thunder?º 20 Canst thou make him afraidº ª as a grasshopper?º the gloryº of his nostrilsº [is] terrible.º 21 He pawethº ª in the valley,º and rejoicethº ª in [his] strength:º he goeth onº ª to meetº ª the armed men.º 22 He mockethº ª at fear,º and is not² affrighted;º ª neither² turneth he backº ª fromº ² the sword.º 23 The quiverº rattlethº ª against² him, the glitteringº spearº and the shield.º 24 He swallowethº ª the groundº with fiercenessº and rage:º neither² believethº ª he that² [it is] the soundº of the trumpet.º 25 He saithº ª amongº the trumpets,º Ha,¹ ha;º and he smellethº ª the battleº afar off,º ² the thunderº of the captains,º and the shouting.º
