Job 39:5-12
New International Version
5 “Who let the wild donkey(A) go free?
Who untied its ropes?
6 I gave it the wasteland(B) as its home,
the salt flats(C) as its habitat.(D)
7 It laughs(E) at the commotion in the town;
it does not hear a driver’s shout.(F)
8 It ranges the hills(G) for its pasture
and searches for any green thing.
9 “Will the wild ox(H) consent to serve you?(I)
Will it stay by your manger(J) at night?
10 Can you hold it to the furrow with a harness?(K)
Will it till the valleys behind you?
11 Will you rely on it for its great strength?(L)
Will you leave your heavy work to it?
12 Can you trust it to haul in your grain
and bring it to your threshing floor?

Job 39:5-12
New American Standard Bible
5 “Who sent the (A)wild donkey out free?
And who opened the bonds of the swift donkey,
6 To whom I gave (B)the wilderness as his home,
And the salt land as his dwelling place?
7 He laughs at the turmoil of the city,
He does not hear the shouting of the taskmaster.
8 He explores the mountains of his pasture,
And searches after every green thing.
9 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?
