Job - douay rheims

Chapter 39

¹ Knowest thou the time when the wild goats bring forth among the rocks, or hast thou observed the hinds when they fawn?
² Hast thou numbered the months of their conceiving, or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
³ They bow themselves to bring forth young, and they cast them, and send forth roarings.
⁴ Their young are weaned and go to feed : they go forth, and return not to them.
⁵ Who hath sent out the wild ass free, and who hath loosed his bonds?
⁶ To whom I have given a house in the wilderness, and his dwellings in the barren land.
⁷ He scorneth the multitude of the city, he heareth not the cry of the driver.
⁸ He looketh round about the mountains of his pasture, and seeketh for every green thing.
⁹ Shall the rhinoceros be willing to serve thee, or will he stay at thy crib?
¹⁰ Canst thou bind the rhinoceros with thy thong to plough, or will he break the clods of the valleys after thee?
¹¹ Wilt thou have confidence in his great strength, and leave thy labours to him?
¹² Wilt thou trust him that he will render thee the seed, and gather it into thy barnfloor?
¹³ The wing of the ostrich is like the wings of the heron, and of the hawk.
¹⁴ When she leaveth her eggs on the earth, thou perhaps wilt warm them in the dust.
¹⁵ She forgetteth that the foot may tread upon them, or that the beasts of the field may break them.
¹⁶ She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers, she hath laboured in vain, no fear constraining her.
¹⁷ For God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he given her understanding.
¹⁸ When time shall be, she setteth up her wings on high : she scorneth the horse and his rider.
¹⁹ Wilt thou give strength to the horse, or clothe his neck with neighing?
²⁰ Wilt thou lift him up like the locusts? the glory of his nostrils is terror.
²¹ He breaketh up the earth with his hoof, he pranceth boldly, he goeth forward to meet armed men.
²² He despiseth fear, he turneth not his back to the sword,
²³ Above him shall the quiver rattle, the spear and shield shall glitter.
²⁴ Chasing and raging he swalloweth the ground, neither doth he make account when the noise of the trumpet soundeth.
²⁵ When he heareth the trumpet he saith : Ha, ha : he smelleth the battle afar off, the encouraging of the captains, and the shouting of the army.
²⁶ Doth the hawk wax feathered by thy wisdom, spreading her wings to the south?
²⁷ Will the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest in high places?
²⁸ She abideth among the rocks, and dwelleth among cragged flints, and stony hills, where there is no access.
²⁹ From thence she looketh for the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.
³⁰ Her young ones shall suck up blood : and wheresoever the carcass shall be, she is immediately there.
³¹ And the Lord went on, and said to Job :
³² Shall he that contendeth with God be so easily silenced? surely he that reproveth God, ought to answer him.
³³ Then Job answered the Lord, and said :
³⁴ One thing I have spoken, which I wish I had not said : and another, to which I will add no more.

Chapter 39

¹ Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
² Canst thou number the months that they fulfill? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
³ They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.
⁴ Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not to them.
⁵ Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?
⁶ Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.
⁷ He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.
⁸ The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.
⁹ Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
¹⁰ Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
¹¹ Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labor to him?
¹² Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?
¹³ Gavest thou the goodly wings to the peacocks? or wings and feathers to the ostrich!
¹⁴ Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in the dust,
¹⁵ And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
¹⁶ She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labor is in vain without fear;
¹⁷ Because God hath withheld wisdom from her, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
¹⁸ When she lifteth herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
¹⁹ Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
²⁰ Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
²¹ He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.
²² He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.
²³ The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.
²⁴ He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
²⁵ He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
²⁶ Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings towards the south?
²⁷ Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?
²⁸ She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.
²⁹ From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.
³⁰ Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.

⁵ Who hath sent out the wild ass free? and who hath loosed the bands of the onager,

¹⁶ She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers; her labour is in vain, without her concern.

Chapter 39

¹ Have you knowledge of the rock-goats? or do you see the roes giving birth to their young?
² Is the number of their months fixed by you? or is the time when they give birth ordered by you?
³ They are bent down, they give birth to their young, they let loose the fruit of their body.
⁴ Their young ones are strong, living in the open country; they go out and do not come back again.
⁵ Who has let the ass of the fields go free? or made loose the bands of the loud-voiced beast?
⁶ To whom I have given the waste land for a heritage, and the salt land as a living-place.
⁷ He makes sport of the noise of the town; the voice of the driver does not come to his ears;
⁸ He goes looking for his grass-lands in the mountains, searching out every green thing.
⁹ Will the ox of the mountains be your servant? or is his night's resting-place by your food-store?
¹⁰ Will he be pulling your plough with cords, turning up the valleys after you?
¹¹ Will you put your faith in him, because his strength is great? will you give the fruit of your work into his care?
¹² Will you be looking for him to come back, and get in your seed to the crushing-floor?
¹³ Is the wing of the ostrich feeble, or is it because she has no feathers,
¹⁴ That she puts her eggs on the earth, warming them in the dust,
¹⁵ Without a thought that they may be crushed by the foot, and broken by the beasts of the field?
¹⁶ She is cruel to her young ones, as if they were not hers; her work is to no purpose; she has no fear.
¹⁷ For God has taken wisdom from her mind, and given her no measure of knowledge.
¹⁸ When she is shaking her wings on high, she makes sport of the horse and of him who is seated on him.
¹⁹ Do you give strength to the horse? is it by your hand that his neck is clothed with power?
²⁰ Is it through you that he is shaking like a locust, in the pride of his loud-sounding breath?
²¹ He is stamping with joy in the valley; he makes sport of fear.
²² In his strength he goes out against the arms of war, turning not away from the sword.
²³ The bow is sounding against him; he sees the shining point of spear and arrow.
²⁴ Shaking with passion, he is biting the earth; he is not able to keep quiet at the sound of the horn;
²⁵ When it comes to his ears he says, Aha! He is smelling the fight from far off, and hearing the thunder of the captains, and the war-cries.
²⁶ Is it through your knowledge that the hawk takes his flight, stretching out his wings to the south?
²⁷ Or is it by your orders that the eagle goes up, and makes his resting-place on high?
²⁸ On the rock is his house, and on the mountain-top his strong place.
²⁹ From there he is watching for food; his eye sees it far off.
³⁰ His young have blood for their drink, and where the dead bodies are, there is he to be seen.
