Job 39:5-12
World English Bible
Job 39:5-12
World English Bible
5 “Who has set the wild donkey free?
Or who has loosened the bonds of the swift donkey,
6 whose home I have made the wilderness,
and the salt land his dwelling place?
7 He scorns the tumult of the city,
neither does he hear the shouting of the driver.
8 The range of the mountains is his pasture,
He searches after every green thing.
9 “Will the wild ox be content to serve you?
Or will he stay by your feeding trough?
10 Can you hold the wild ox in the furrow with his harness?
Or will he till the valleys after you?
11 Will you trust him, because his strength is great?
Or will you leave to him your labor?
12 Will you confide in him, that he will bring home your seed,
and gather the grain of your threshing floor?

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?

Job 39:5-12
King James Version
5 Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?
6 Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.
7 He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.
8 The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.
9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?
10 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?
