Job 39:5-12

Modern English Version

⁵ “Who has sent out the wild donkey free?
    Or who has loosed the bands of the wild donkey,
⁶ whose home I have made the wilderness,
    and the barren land his dwelling?
⁷ He scorns the multitude in the city
    and does not regard the shouts of the driver.
⁸ The range of the mountains is his pasture,
    and he searches after every green thing.

⁹ “Will the wild ox be willing to serve you
    or spend the night by your manger?
¹⁰ Can you bind the wild ox in the furrow with ropes?
    Or will he plow the valleys behind you?
¹¹ Will you trust him because his strength is great?
    Or will you leave your labor to him?
¹² Will you trust him to bring home your grain
    and gather it into your barn?
