Job 39:5

Compare all

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?

7 He scorns the tumult of the city;
He does not heed the shouts of the driver.

8 The range of the mountains is his pasture,
And he searches after ^aevery green thing.

9 “Will the ^awild ox be willing to serve you?
Will he bed by your manger?
