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.

  1. Job 39:1 Lit goats of the rock

39 “Do you know when the mountain goats bring forth?
    Do you observe the calving of the hinds?
Can you number the months that they fulfil,
    and do you know the time when they bring forth,
when they crouch, bring forth their offspring,
    and are delivered of their young?
Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open;
    they go forth, and do not return to them.
