Job 39:5-12
Modern English Version
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?

Job 39:5-12
New International Version
5 “Who let the wild donkey(A) go free?
Who untied its ropes?
6 I gave it the wasteland(B) as its home,
the salt flats(C) as its habitat.(D)
7 It laughs(E) at the commotion in the town;
it does not hear a driver’s shout.(F)
8 It ranges the hills(G) for its pasture
and searches for any green thing.
9 “Will the wild ox(H) consent to serve you?(I)
Will it stay by your manger(J) at night?
10 Can you hold it to the furrow with a harness?(K)
Will it till the valleys behind you?
11 Will you rely on it for its great strength?(L)
Will you leave your heavy work to it?
12 Can you trust it to haul in your grain
and bring it to your threshing floor?
