Jb 39 (King James)

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 fulfil? 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 unto 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 labour 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 unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?
¹⁴ Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in 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 her's: her labour is in vain without fear;
¹⁷ Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
¹⁸ What time she lifteth up 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 toward 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.

Jb 39 (Vulgate)

¹ [Numquid nosti tempus partus ibicum in petris, vel parturientes cervas observasti ?
² Dinumerasti menses conceptus earum, et scisti tempus partus earum ?
³ Incurvantur ad fœtum, et pariunt, et rugitus emittunt.
⁴ Separantur filii earum, et pergunt ad pastum : egrediuntur, et non revertuntur ad eas.
⁵ Quis dimisit onagrum liberum, et vincula ejus quis solvit ?
⁶ cui dedi in solitudine domum, et tabernacula ejus in terra salsuginis.
⁷ Contemnit multitudinem civitatis : clamorem exactoris non audit.
⁸ Circumspicit montes pascuæ suæ, et virentia quæque perquirit.
⁹ Numquid volet rhinoceros servire tibi, aut morabitur ad præsepe tuum ?
¹⁰ Numquid alligabis rhinocerota ad arandum loro tuo, aut confringet glebas vallium post te ?
¹¹ Numquid fiduciam habebis in magna fortitudine ejus, et derelinques ei labores tuos ?
¹² Numquid credes illi quod sementem reddat tibi, et aream tuam congreget ?
¹³ Penna struthionis similis est pennis herodii et accipitris.
¹⁴ Quando derelinquit ova sua in terra, tu forsitan in pulvere calefacies ea ?
¹⁵ Obliviscitur quod pes conculcet ea, aut bestia agri conterat.
¹⁶ Duratur ad filios suos, quasi non sint sui : frustra laboravit, nullo timore cogente.
¹⁷ Privavit enim eam Deus sapientia, nec dedit illi intelligentiam.
¹⁸ Cum tempus fuerit, in altum alas erigit : deridet equum et ascensorem ejus.
¹⁹ Numquid præbebis equo fortitudinem, aut circumdabis collo ejus hinnitum ?
²⁰ Numquid suscitabis eum quasi locustas ? gloria narium ejus terror.
²¹ Terram ungula fodit ; exsultat audacter : in occursum pergit armatis.
²² Contemnit pavorem, nec cedit gladio.
²³ Super ipsum sonabit pharetra ; vibrabit hasta et clypeus :
²⁴ fervens et fremens sorbet terram, nec reputat tubæ sonare clangorem.
²⁵ Ubi audierit buccinam, dicit : Vah ! procul odoratur bellum : exhortationem ducum, et ululatum exercitus.
²⁶ Numquid per sapientiam tuam plumescit accipiter, expandens alas suas ad austrum ?
²⁷ Numquid ad præceptum tuum elevabitur aquila, et in arduis ponet nidum suum ?
²⁸ In petris manet, et in præruptis silicibus commoratur, atque inaccessis rupibus.
²⁹ Inde contemplatur escam, et de longe oculi ejus prospiciunt.
³⁰ Pulli ejus lambent sanguinem : et ubicumque cadaver fuerit, statim adest.]
³¹ Et adjecit Dominus, et locutus est ad Job :
³² [Numquid qui contendit cum Deo, tam facile conquiescit ? utique qui arguit Deum, debet respondere ei.]
³³ Respondens autem Job Domino, dixit :
³⁴ [Qui leviter locutus sum, respondere quid possum ? manum meam ponam super os meum.
³⁵ Unum locutus sum, quod utinam non dixissem : et alterum, quibus ultra non addam.]
