Job 39:5-12

New Century Version

⁵ “Who let the wild donkey go free?
    Who untied its ropes?
⁶ I am the one who gave the donkey the desert as its home;
    I gave it the desert lands as a place to live.
⁷ The wild donkey laughs at the confusion in the city,
    and it does not hear the drivers shout.
⁸ It roams the hills looking for pasture,
    looking for anything green to eat.

⁹ “Will the wild ox agree to serve you
    and stay by your feeding box at night?
¹⁰ Can you hold it to the plowed row with a harness
    so it will plow the valleys for you?
¹¹ Will you depend on the wild ox for its great strength
    and leave your heavy work for it to do?
¹² Can you trust the ox to bring in your grain
    and gather it to your threshing floor?
