The Ostrich

13 “Does the ostrich flap its wings in joy,
    or do its wings lack feathers?[a]
14 It lays its eggs on the ground
    and warms them in the dust.
15 It forgets that a foot may crush them
    or a wild animal may trample them.
16 It acts harshly toward its young as if they weren’t its own.
    It is not afraid that its work is for nothing
17 because Eloah has deprived it of wisdom
    and did not give it any understanding.
18 It laughs at the horse and its rider when it gets up to flee.
