39 “Do you know the time the [a](A)mountain goats give birth?
Do you keep watch over the calving of the (B)deer?
Can you count the months they fulfill,
Or do you know the time they give birth?
They kneel down; they bring forth their young;
They send out their labor pains.
Their children become strong; they grow up in the open field;
They leave and do not return to them.

39 “Do you know the time when the goats of the rocks give birth?
Do you observe the doe deer’s giving birth?
Can you number the months they fulfill,
and do you know the time of its giving birth?
When they crouch, they bring forth their young ones;
they get rid of their labor pains.[a]
Their young ones grow strong; they grow up in the open;
they go forth and do not return to them.
