¹³ “The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully,
    though they cannot compare
    with the wings and feathers of the stork.^(A)
14 She lays her eggs on the ground
    and lets them warm in the sand,
¹⁵ unmindful that a foot may crush them,
    that some wild animal may trample them.^(B)
16 She treats her young harshly,^(C) as if they were not hers;
    she cares not that her labor was in vain,
¹⁷ for God did not endow her with wisdom
    or give her a share of good sense.^(D)
18 Yet when she spreads her feathers to run,
    she laughs^(E) at horse and rider.

²⁶ “Does the hawk take flight by your wisdom
    and spread its wings toward the south?^(A)
27 Does the eagle soar at your command
    and build its nest on high?^(B)
28 It dwells on a cliff and stays there at night;
    a rocky crag^(C) is its stronghold.
²⁹ From there it looks for food;^(D)
    its eyes detect it from afar.
³⁰ Its young ones feast on blood,
    and where the slain are, there it is.”^(E)
