the shouting of the driver.
039:008 The range of the mountains is his pasture, He searches after
every green thing.
039:009 "Will the wild ox be content to serve you? Or will he stay
by your feeding trough?
039:010 Can you hold the wild ox in the furrow with his harness?
Or will he till the valleys after you?
039:011 Will you trust him, because his strength is great?
Or will you leave to him your labor?
039:012 Will you confide in him, that he will bring home your seed,
and gather the grain of your threshing floor?
039:013 "The wings of the ostrich wave proudly; but are they the feathers
and plumage of love?
039:014 For she leaves her eggs on the earth, warms them in the dust,
039:015 and forgets that the foot may crush them, or that the wild
animal may trample them.
039:016 She deals harshly with her young ones, as if they were not hers.
Though her labor is in vain, she is without fear,
039:017 because God has deprived her of wisdom, neither has he imparted
to her understanding.
039:018 When she lifts up herself on high, she scorns the horse
and his rider.
039:019 "Have you given the horse might? Have you clothed his neck
with a quivering mane?
039:020 Have you made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his
snorting is awesome.
039:021 He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength.
He goes out to meet the armed men.
039:022 He mocks at fear, and is not dismayed, neither does he turn
back from the sword.
039:023 The quiver rattles against him, the flashing spear and the javelin.
039:024 He eats up the ground with fierceness and rage, neither does
he stand still at the sound of the trumpet.
039:025 As often as the trumpet sounds he snorts, 'Aha!' He smells
the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains,
and the shouting.
039:026 "Is it by your wisdom that the hawk soars, and stretches her
wings toward the south?
039:027 Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up, and makes
his nest on high?
039:028 On the cliff he dwells, and makes his home, on the point
of the cliff, and the stronghold.
039:029 From there he spies out the prey. His eyes see it afar off.
039:030 His young ones also suck up blood. Where the slain are,
there he is."
040:001 Moreover Yahweh answered Job,
040:002 "Shall he who argues contend with the Almighty? He who argues
with God, let him answer it."
040:003 Then Job answered Yahweh,
040:004 "Behold, I am of small account. What shall I answer you?
I lay my hand on my mouth.
040:005 I have spoken once, and I will not answer; Yes, twice, but I
will proceed no further."
040:006 Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind,
040:007 "Now brace yourself like a man. I will question you, and you
will answer me.
040:008 Will you even annul my judgment? Will you condemn me,
that you may be justified?
