Job 39:5-12

English Standard Version

⁵ “Who has let the wild donkey go free?
    Who has ^(A)loosed the bonds of the swift donkey,
⁶ to whom I have given ^(B)the arid plain for his home
    and ^(C)the salt land for his dwelling place?
⁷ He scorns the tumult of the city;
    he hears not the shouts of the driver.
⁸ He ranges the mountains as his pasture,
    and he searches after every green thing.

⁹ “Is ^(D)the wild ox willing to serve you?
    Will he spend the night at your ^(E)manger?
¹⁰ Can you bind ^(F)him in the furrow with ropes,
    or will he harrow the valleys after you?
¹¹ Will you depend on him because his strength is great,
    and will you leave to him your labor?
¹² Do you have faith in him that he will return your grain
    and gather it to your threshing floor?
