Job 39:1-4
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
39 “Do you know when the mountain goats give birth?
Do you observe the calving of the deer?(A)
2 Can you number the months that they fulfill,
and do you know the time when they give birth,
3 when they crouch to give birth to their offspring
and are delivered of their young?(B)
4 Their young ones become strong; they grow up in the open;
they go forth and do not return to them.
Job 39:1-4
International Standard Version
On the Birth of Young
39 “Do you know when the mountain goat gives birth?
Do you watch the doe as it calves its young?
2 Can you count the months of their gestation?
Do you know the time when they give birth,
3 when they crouch down[a] to give birth[b] to their offspring,
and let go[c] of their birth pangs?
4 Their young are strong;
they grow up in the open field;
then they go off
and don’t return to them.”
