Daily Bible GNT September 25 Verses

Job 39 ¹Do you know when mountain goats are born?

Have you watched wild deer give birth?

²Do you know how long they carry their young?

Do you know the time for their birth?

³Do you know when they will crouch down

and bring their young into the world?

⁴In the wilds their young grow strong;

they go away and don't come back.

⁵Who gave the wild donkeys their freedom?

Who turned them loose and let them roam?

⁶I gave them the desert to be their home,

and let them live on the salt plains.

⁷They keep far away from the noisy cities,

and no one can tame them and make them work.

⁸The mountains are the pastures where they feed,

where they search for anything green to eat.

⁹Will a wild ox work for you?

Is he willing to spend the night in your stable?

¹⁰Can you hold one with a rope and make him plow?

Or make him pull a harrow in your fields?

¹¹Can you rely on his great strength

and expect him to do your heavy work?

¹²Do you expect him to bring in your harvest T

and gather the grain from your threshing place?

¹³How fast the wings of an ostrich beat!

But no ostrich can fly like a stork.

¹⁴The ostrich leaves her eggs on the ground

for the heat in the soil to warm them.

¹⁵She is unaware that a foot may crush them

or a wild animal break them.

¹⁶She acts as if the eggs were not hers,

and is unconcerned that her efforts were wasted.

¹⁷It was I who made her foolish

and did not give her wisdom.

¹⁸But when she begins to run,

she can laugh at any horse and rider.
