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,

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.

They get rid of their labor pains.
“Their offspring become strong, they grow up in the open field;
They leave and do not return to them.
