39 “Do you know when the mountain goats give birth?
    Do you observe the calving of the deer?(A)
Can you number the months that they fulfill,
    and do you know the time when they give birth,
when they crouch to give birth to their offspring
    and are delivered of their young?(B)
Their young ones become strong; they grow up in the open;
    they go forth 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?

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.
