Job 39:1

Compare all

1 “Do you know the time when the wild ^amountain goats bear young?
Or can you mark when ^bthe deer gives birth?

2 Can you number the months that they fulfill?
Or do you know the time when they bear young?

3 They bow down,
They bring forth their young,
They deliver their¹ offspring.

4 Their young ones are healthy,
They grow strong with grain;
They depart and do not return to them.

5 “Who set the wild donkey free?
Who loosed the bonds of the¹ onager,

6 ^aWhose home I have made the wilderness,
And the¹ barren land his dwelling?

Job 39:1

(Job 39:1-30)

Even wild beasts, cut off from all care of man, are cared for by God at their seasons of greatest need. Their instinct comes direct from God and guides them to help themselves in parturition; the very time when the herdsman is most anxious for his herds.

wild goats—ibex (Psalms 104:18; I Samuel 24:2).

hinds—fawns; most timid and defenseless animals, yet cared for by God.
