"Do you knowh3045 the timeh6256 the  1 amountainh3277h5553 goatsh3277 giveh3205 birthh3205? Do you observeh8104 the calvingh2342a of the  bdeerh355?

2

"Can you counth5608 the monthsh3391 they fulfillh4390, Or do you knowh3045 the timeh6256 they giveh3205 birthh3205?

3

"They kneelh3766 downh3766, they bringh6398 forthh6398 their youngh3206, They geth7971 ridh7971 of their laborh2256b painsh2256b.

4

"Their offspringh1121 becomeh2492a strongh2492a, they growh7235a up in the openh1253b fieldh1253b; They leaveh3318 and do not returnh7725 to them.

5

"Whoh4310 senth7971 out the  awildh6501 donkeyh6501 freeh2670? And whoh4310 loosedh6605a the bondsh4147 of the swifth6171 donkeyh6171,

6

To whomh834 I gaveh7760  athe wildernessh6160 for a homeh1004 And the salth4420 landh4420 for his dwellingh4908 placeh4908?

7

"He scornsh7832 the tumulth1995 of the cityh7151, The shoutingsh8663 of the driverh5065 he does not hearh8085.

8

"He exploresh8446 the mountainsh2022 for his pastureh4829 And searchesh1875 afterh310 everyh3605 greenh3387 thingh3387.

9

"Will the  awildh7214 oxh7214 consenth14 to serveh5647 you, Orh518 will he spendh3885a the nighth3885a at your mangerh18?

10

"Can you bindh7194 the wildh7214 oxh7214 in a furrowh8525 with  1ropesh5688, Orh518 will he harrowh7702 the valleysh6010 afterh310 you?

11

"Will you trusth539 him becauseh3588 his strengthh3581b is greath7227a And leaveh5800a your laborh3018 to him?

12

"Will you haveh539 faithh539 in him that he will returnh7725 your  1grainh2233 And gatherh622 it from your threshingh1637 floorh1637?

13

"The ostriches'h7443 wingsh3671 flaph5965 joyouslyh5965 With the pinionh84 and plumageh5133 of  1loveh2623,

14

For she abandonsh5800a her eggsh1000 to the earthh776 And warmsh2552 them in the dusth6083,

15

And she forgetsh7911 that a footh7272 may crushh2115  1them, Or that a wildh7704 beasth2421b may trampleh1758  1them.

16

"She treatsh7188 her youngh1121  acruellyh7188, as if they were not hers; Though her laborh3018 be in vainh7385b, she is  1unconcernedh1097h6343;

17

Becauseh3588 Godh433 has made her forgeth5382 wisdomh2451, And has not givenh2505a her a shareh2505a of understandingh998.

18

"Whenh6256 she liftsh4754 herself  1on highh4791, She laughsh7832 at the horseh5483b and his riderh7392.

19

"Do you giveh5414 the horseh5483b his mighth1369? Do you clotheh3847 his neckh6677 with a maneh7483?

20

"Do you make him  aleaph7493 like the locusth697? His majestich1935  bsnortingh5170a is terribleh367.

21

1He pawsh2658 in the valleyh6010, and rejoicesh7797 in his strengthh3581b; He  agoesh3318 out to meeth7122 the weaponsh5402.

22

"He laughsh7832 at fearh6343 and is not dismayedh2865; And he does not turnh7725 backh7725 from the swordh2719.

23

"The quiverh827 rattlesh7439 againsth5921 him, The flashingh3851 spearh2595 and javelinh3591.

24

"With shakingh7494 and rageh7267 he  1racesh1572 over the groundh776, And he does not standh539 stillh539 at the voiceh6963 of the trumpeth7782.

25

"As oftenh1767 as the trumpeth7782 sounds he saysh559, `Ahah1889!' And he scentsh7381a the battleh4421 from afarh7350, And the thunderh7482 of the captainsh8269 and the warh8643 cryh8643.

26

"Is it by your understandingh998 that the hawkh5322b soarsh82, Stretchingh6566 his wingsh3671 toward the southh8486?

27

"Is it at your  1commandh6310 that the eagleh5404 mountsh1361b up And makesh7311  ahis nesth7064 on highh7311?

28

"On the cliffh5553 he dwellsh7931 and lodgesh3885a, Upon the rockyh5553 cragh8127, an inaccessibleh4686b placeh4686b.

29

"From thereh8033 he  aspiesh2658 out foodh400; His eyesh5869 seeh5027 it from afarh7350.

30

"His youngh667 onesh667 also suckh5966 up bloodh1818; And  awhereh834 the slainh2491a are, thereh8033 is he."
