  • Job 38:39-39:12 : 39 Will you hunt the prey for the lion, or satisfy the appetite of the young lions, 40 When they crouch in their dens, and lie in wait in the thickets? 41 Who provides for the raven its prey, when its young ones cry to God, and wander about for lack of food? 1 Do you know the time when the wild goats of the rock give birth? Or can you mark when the deer give birth? 2 Can you count the months they fulfill? Or do you know the time when they give birth? 3 They crouch down, they bring forth their young, they cast out their labor pains. 4 Their young ones grow strong, they grow up in the open; they go forth and do not return to them. 5 Who has set the wild donkey free? Or who has loosed the bonds of the wild donkey? 6 Whose home I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwelling. 7 He mocks the city's throng, nor does he heed the driver's shout. 8 The range of mountains is his pasture, and he searches after every green thing. 9 Will the wild ox be willing to serve you, or remain by your manger? 10 Can you bind the wild ox in the furrow with ropes? Or will he plow the valleys behind you? 11 Will you trust him because his strength is great? Or will you leave your labor to him? 12 Will you rely on him to bring home your grain and gather it into your barn?
  • Job 39:26-30 : 26 Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, and stretch its wings toward the south? 27 Does the eagle mount up at your command, and make its nest on high? 28 It dwells on the rock and resides on the crag of the rock, in the stronghold. 29 From there it seeks its prey, and its eyes see afar off. 30 Its young ones also drink blood; and where the slain are, there it is.
  • Job 41:4-9 : 4 Will he make a covenant with you? Will you take him as a servant forever? 5 Will you play with him as with a bird? Or will you bind him for your maidens? 6 Will the companions make a banquet of him? Will they divide him among the merchants? 7 Can you fill his skin with barbed irons, or his head with fish spears? 8 Lay your hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more. 9 Behold, the hope of capturing him is vain; will not one be cast down even at the sight of him? 10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up; who then is able to stand before me? 11 Who has preceded me, that I should repay him? Whatever is under the whole heaven is mine. 12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his handsome proportions. 13 Who can uncover the face of his garment? Or who can come to him with a double bridle? 14 Who can open the doors of his face? His teeth are terrifying all around. 15 His scales are his pride, shut up tightly as with a close seal. 16 One is so near to another that no air can come between them. 17 They are joined one to another; they clasp each other, and cannot be parted. 18 By his sneezings a light shines, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. 19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. 20 Out of his nostrils goes smoke, as out of a boiling pot or cauldron. 21 His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth. 22 In his neck remains strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him. 23 The folds of his flesh are tightly joined; they are firm on him and cannot be moved. 24 His heart is as hard as a stone; yes, as hard as a lower millstone. 25 When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid; because of the crashing they are beside themselves. 26 The sword that reaches him cannot prevail, nor the spear, the dart, or the javelin. 27 He regards iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood. 28 The arrow cannot make him flee; sling stones are turned to stubble by him. 29 Darts are regarded as stubble, he laughs at the shaking of a spear. 30 Under him are sharp stones; he spreads sharp pointed things upon the mire. 31 He makes the deep boil like a pot; he makes the sea like a pot of ointment. 32 He makes a path shine after him; one would think the deep to have white hair. 33 On earth there is nothing like him, made without fear. 34 He beholds all high things; he is a king over all the children of pride.
