Job 39:16

Job 39:16

Compare all

14 For she leaves her eggs on the ground,
And warms them in the dust;

15 She forgets that a foot may crush them,
Or that a wild beast may break them.

16 She ^atreats her young harshly, as though they were not hers;
Her labor is in vain, without¹ concern,

17 Because God deprived her of wisdom,
And did not ^aendow her with understanding.

18 When she lifts herself on high,
She scorns the horse and its rider.

Her labour - In laying her eggs is in vain, because she hath not the fear and tender concern for them, which she should have.
