Job 39:5-12
1599 Geneva Bible
5 Canst thou number the months that they [a]fulfill? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
6 They bow themselves: they [b]bruise their young and cast out their sorrows.
7 Yet their young wax fat, and grow up with corn: they go forth and return not unto them.
8 Who hath set the wild ass at liberty? or who hath loosed the bonds of the wild ass?
9 It is I which have made the wilderness his house, and the [c]salt places his dwellings.
10 He derideth the multitude of the city: he heareth not the cry of the driver.
11 He seeketh out the mountain for his pasture, and searcheth after every green thing.
12 Will the unicorn [d]serve thee? or will he tarry by thy crib?
