Job 38:39-41

39 “Can you hunt the prey for the lion,
or ^asatisfy the appetite of the young lions,
40when they crouch in their ^bdens
or lie in wait ^cin their thicket?
41Who provides for ^dthe raven its prey,
when its young ones cry to God for help,
and wander about for lack of food?

Job 39:1-12

1“Do you know when ^ethe mountain goats give birth?
Do you observe ^fthe calving of the does?
2Can you number the months that they fulfill,
and do you know the time when they give birth,
3when they ^gcrouch, bring forth their offspring,
and are delivered of their young?
4Their young ones become strong; they grow up in the open;
they go out and ^hdo not return to them.
5 “Who has let the wild donkey go free?
Who has ⁱloosed the bonds of the swift donkey,
6to whom I have given ^jthe arid plain for his home
and ^kthe salt land for his dwelling place?
7He scorns the tumult of the city;
he hears not the shouts of the driver.
8He ranges the mountains as his pasture,
and he searches after every green thing.
9 “Is ^lthe wild ox willing to serve you?
Will he spend the night at your ^mmanger?
10Can you bind ⁿhim in the furrow with ropes,
or will he harrow the valleys after you?
11Will you depend on him because his strength is great,
and will you leave to him your labor?
12Do you have faith in him that he will return your grain
and gather it to your threshing floor?

Job 39:26-30

26 “Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars
and spreads his wings toward the south?
27Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up
and makes his ^onest on high?
28On the rock he dwells and makes his home,
on ^pthe rocky crag and stronghold.
29From there he spies out the prey;
his eyes behold it from far away.
30His young ones suck up blood,
and ^qwhere the slain are, there is he.”

Job 41:4-34

4Will he make a covenant with you
to take him for ^ryour servant forever?
5Will you play with him as with a bird,
or will you put him on a leash for your girls?
6Will traders bargain over him?
Will they divide him up among the merchants?
7Can you fill his skin with harpoons
or his head with fishing spears?
8Lay your hands on him;
remember the battle—you will not do it again!

▼Ch 41:1 in Hebrew

Behold, the hope of a man is false;
he is laid low even at the sight of him.
10No one is so fierce that he dares to stir him up.
Who then is he who can stand before me?
11 ^tWho has first given to me, that I should repay him?
^uWhatever is under the whole heaven is mine.
12 “I will not keep silence concerning his limbs,
or his mighty strength, or his goodly frame.
13Who can strip off his outer garment?
Who would come near him with a bridle?
14Who can open the doors of his face?
Around his teeth is terror.
15His back is made of ▼

▼Or  His pride is in his

rows of shields,
shut up closely as with a seal.
16One is so near to another
that no air can come between them.
17They are ^wjoined one to another;
they clasp each other and cannot be separated.
18His sneezings flash forth light,
and his eyes are like ^xthe eyelids of the dawn.
19Out of his mouth go flaming torches;
sparks of fire leap forth.
20Out of his nostrils comes forth smoke,
as from a boiling pot and burning rushes.
21His breath ^ykindles coals,
and a flame comes forth from his mouth.
22In his neck abides strength,
and terror dances before him.
23The folds of his flesh ^zstick together,
firmly cast on him and immovable.
24His heart is hard as a stone,
hard as the lower millstone.
25When he raises himself up, the mighty ▼

▼Or gods

are afraid;
at the crashing they are beside themselves.
26Though the sword reaches him, it does not avail,
nor the spear, the dart, or the javelin.
27He counts iron as straw,
and bronze as rotten wood.
28The arrow cannot make him flee;
for him ,sling stones are turned to stubble.
29Clubs are counted as stubble;
he laughs at the rattle of javelins.
30His underparts are like sharp ^abpotsherds;
he spreads himself like ^aca threshing sledge on the mire.
31He makes the deep boil like a pot;
he makes the sea like a pot of ointment.
32Behind him he leaves a shining wake;
one would think the deep to be white-haired.
33 ^adOn earth there is not his like,
a creature without fear.
34He sees everything that is high;
he is king over all the ^aesons of pride.”
