39 The bounty and providence of God, which extendeth even to the young ravens, giveth man full occasion to put his confidence in God. 37 Job confesseth and humbleth himself.

Wilt [a]thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the lion’s whelps,

When they crouch in their places, and remain in the covert to lie in wait?

Who prepareth for the raven his meat, when his birds [b]cry unto God, wandering for lack of meat?

Knowest thou the time when the wild goats bring forth young? or dost thou mark when the [c]hinds do calve?
