1 - Hast thou known the time of The bearing of the wild goats of the rock? The bringing forth of hinds thou dost mark!

2 - Thou dost number the months they fulfil? And thou hast known the time of their bringing forth!

3 - They bow down, Their young ones they bring forth safely, Their pangs they cast forth.

4 - Safe are their young ones, They grow up in the field, they have gone out, And have not returned to them.

5 - Who hath sent forth the wild ass free? Yea, the bands of the wild ass who opened?

6 - Whose house I have made the wilderness, And his dwellings the barren land,

7 - He doth laugh at the multitude of a city, The cries of an exactor he heareth not.

8 - The range of mountains <FI>is<Fi> his pasture, And after every green thing he seeketh.

9 - Is a Reem willing to serve thee? Doth he lodge by thy crib?

10 - Dost thou bind a Reem in a furrow <FI>with<Fi> his thick band? Doth he harrow valleys after thee?

11 - Dost thou trust in him because great <FI>is<Fi> his power? And dost thou leave unto him thy labour?

12 - Dost thou trust in him That he doth bring back thy seed? And <FI>to<Fi> thy threshing-floor doth gather <FI>it<Fi> ?

13 - The wing of the rattling ones exulteth, Whether the pinion of the ostrich or hawk.

14 - For she leaveth on the earth her eggs, And on the dust she doth warm them,

15 - And she forgetteth that a foot may press it, And a beast of the field tread it down.

16 - Her young ones it hath hardened without her, In vain <FI>is<Fi> her labour without fear.

17 - For God hath caused her to forget wisdom, And He hath not given a portion To her in understanding:

18 - At the time on high she lifteth herself up, She laugheth at the horse and at his rider.

19 - Dost thou give to the horse might? Dost thou clothe his neck <FI>with<Fi> a mane?

20 - Dost thou cause him to rush as a locust? The majesty of his snorting <FI>is<Fi> terrible.

21 - They dig in a valley, and he rejoiceth in power, He goeth forth to meet the armour.

22 - He laugheth at fear, and is not affrighted, And he turneth not back from the face of the sword.

23 - Against him rattle doth quiver, The flame of a spear, and a halbert.

24 - With trembling and rage he swalloweth the ground, And remaineth not stedfast Because of the sound of a trumpet.

25 - Among the trumpets he saith, Aha, And from afar he doth smell battle, Roaring of princes and shouting.

26 - By thine understanding flieth a hawk? Spreadeth he his wings to the south?

27 - At thy command goeth an eagle up high? Or lifteth he up his nest?

28 - A rock he doth inhabit, Yea, he lodgeth on the tooth of a rock, and fortress.

29 - From thence he hath sought food, To a far off place his eyes look attentively,

30 - And his brood gulp up blood, And where the pierced <FI>are<Fi> --there <FI>is<Fi> he!
