Job 39:1-4

Expanded Bible

39 “Do you know when the mountain goats give birth?
    Do you watch ·when the deer gives birth to her fawn [^Lthe birth pangs of the deer]?
² Do you count the months until they ·give birth [are fulfilled]
    and know the right time for them to give birth?
³ They lie down, their young are born,
    and ·then the pain of giving birth is over [^Ldeliver their fetuses].
⁴ Their young ones grow big and strong in the wild country.
    Then they leave their homes and do not return.
