Job 39:5-12

International Standard Version

⁵ “Who sets the wild donkey free?
    Who loosens the bonds of the wild donkey
⁶ to whom I’ve given the Arabah^[a] for a home;
    the salt plain for his dwelling place?
⁷ He despises city noises;^[b]
    he ignores the shouts^[c] of the driver.
⁸ He ranges the mountains that are his pasture
    to search for anything green.
⁹ Is the wild ox willing to serve you?
    Will he sleep at night near your feeding trough?
¹⁰ Can you bind the ox to plow a furrow with a rope?
    Will he harrow after you in the valley?
¹¹ Will you trust him because of his great strength
    and entrust your labor to him?
¹² Will you trust him that he’ll bring in your grain,
    and gather it to your threshing floor?”
