39Can you hunt the prey for the lion, or satisfy the appetite of the young lions, 40when they crouch in their dens, or lie in wait in their covert? 41Who provides for the raven its prey, when its young ones cry to God, and wander about for lack of food?
39Do you know when the mountain goats give birth? Do you observe the calving of the deer? 2Can you number the months that they fulfill, and do you know the time when they give birth, 3when they crouch to give birth to their offspring, and are delivered of their young? 4Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open; they go forth, and do not return to them. 5Who has let the wild ass go free? Who has loosed the bonds of the swift ass, 6to which I have given the steppe for its home, the salt land for its dwelling place? 7It scorns the tumult of the city; it does not hear the shouts of the driver. 8It ranges the mountains as its pasture, and it searches after every green thing. 9Is the wild ox willing to serve you? Will it spend the night at your crib? 10Can you tie it in the furrow with ropes, or will it harrow the valleys after you? 11Will you depend on it because its strength is great, and will you hand over your labor to it? 12Do you have faith in it that it will return, and bring your grain to your threshing floor?
