• -39:12 : 1 Do you go after food for the she-lion, or get meat so that the young lions may have enough, 2 When they are stretched out in their holes, and are waiting in the brushwood? 3 Who gives in the evening the meat he is searching for, when his young ones are crying to God; when the young lions with loud noise go wandering after their food? 4 Have you knowledge of the rock-goats? or do you see the roes giving birth to their young? 5 Is the number of their months fixed by you? or is the time when they give birth ordered by you? 6 They are bent down, they give birth to their young, they let loose the fruit of their body. 7 Their young ones are strong, living in the open country; they go out and do not come back again. 8 Who has let the ass of the fields go free? or made loose the bands of the loud-voiced beast? 9 To whom I have given the waste land for a heritage, and the salt land as a living-place. 10 He makes sport of the noise of the town; the voice of the driver does not come to his ears; 11 He goes looking for his grass-lands in the mountains, searching out every green thing. 12 Will the ox of the mountains be your servant? or is his night's resting-place by your food-store?
• Job 39:26-30 : 26 The bow is sounding against him; he sees the shining point of spear and arrow. 27 Shaking with passion, he is biting the earth; he is not able to keep quiet at the sound of the horn; 28 When it comes to his ears he says, Aha! He is smelling the fight from far off, and hearing the thunder of the captains, and the war-cries. 29 Is it through your knowledge that the hawk takes his flight, stretching out his wings to the south? 30 Or is it by your orders that the eagle goes up, and makes his resting-place on high?
• Job 41:4-9 : 4 Who has ever taken off his outer skin? who may come inside his inner coat of iron? 5 Who has made open the doors of his face? Fear is round about his teeth. 6 His back is made of lines of plates, joined tight together, one against the other, like a stamp. 7 One is so near to the other that no air may come between them. 8 They take a grip of one another; they are joined together, so that they may not be parted. 9 His sneezings give out flames, and his eyes are like the eyes of the dawn. 10 Out of his mouth go burning lights, and flames of fire are jumping up. 11 Smoke comes out of his nose, like a pot boiling on the fire. 12 His breath puts fire to coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth. 13 Strength is in his neck, and fear goes dancing before him. 14 The plates of his flesh are joined together, fixed, and not to be moved. 15 His heart is as strong as a stone, hard as the lower crushing-stone. 16 When he gets ready for the fight, the strong are overcome with fear. 17 The sword may come near him but is not able to go through him; the spear, or the arrow, or the sharp-pointed iron. 18 Iron is to him as dry grass, and brass as soft wood. 19 The arrow is not able to put him to flight: stones are no more to him than dry stems. 20 A thick stick is no better than a leaf of grass, and he makes sport of the onrush of the spear. 21 Under him are sharp edges of broken pots: as if he was pulling a grain-crushing instrument over the wet earth. 22 The deep is boiling like a pot of spices, and the sea like a perfume-vessel. 23 After him his way is shining, so that the deep seems white. 24 On earth there is not another like him, who is made without fear. 25 Everything which is high goes in fear of him; he is king over all the sons of pride.
