“Who sent out the (A)wild donkey free?
And who loosed the bonds of the swift donkey,
To whom I gave (B)the wilderness for a home
And the salt land for his dwelling place?
“He scorns the tumult of the city,
The shoutings of the driver he does not hear.
“He explores the mountains for his pasture
And searches after every green thing.
“Will the (C)wild ox consent to serve you,
Or will he spend the night at your manger?
10 “Can you bind the wild ox in a furrow with [a]ropes,
Or will he harrow the valleys after you?
11 “Will you trust him because his strength is great
And leave your labor to him?
12 “Will you have faith in him that he will return your [b]grain
And gather it from your threshing floor?

“Who sent out the (A)wild donkey free?
And who loosed the bonds of the swift donkey,
For whom I have set (B)the desert plain as a home
And the salt land as his dwelling place?
He laughs at the tumult of the city;
The shoutings of the driver he does not hear.
He explores the mountains for his pasture
And searches after every green thing.
Will the (C)wild ox consent to serve you,
Or will he spend the night at your manger?
10 Can you bind the wild ox in a furrow with [a]ropes,
Or will he harrow the valleys after you?
11 Will you trust him because his power is great
And leave your labor to him?
12 Will you believe him that he will return your seed of grain
And gather it from your threshing floor?

  1. Job 39:10 Lit his rope

“Who sent the (A)wild donkey out free?
And who opened the bonds of the swift donkey,
To whom I gave (B)the wilderness as his home,
And the salt land as his dwelling place?
He laughs at the turmoil of the city,
He does not hear the shouting of the taskmaster.
He explores the mountains of his pasture,
And searches after every green thing.
Will the (C)wild bull be willing to serve you,
Or will he spend the night at your feeding trough?
10 Can you tie down the wild bull in a furrow with [a]ropes,
Or will he [b]plow the valleys after you?
11 Will you trust him because his strength is great,
And leave your labor to him?
12 Will you have faith in him that he will return your [c]grain
And gather it from your threshing floor?
