Job 39:1-4

New International Reader's Version

39 “Job, do you know when mountain goats have their babies?
    Do you watch when female deer give birth?
² Do you count the months until the animals have their babies?
    Do you know the time when they give birth?
³ They bend their back legs and have their babies.
    Then their labor pains stop.
⁴ Their little ones grow strong and healthy in the wild.
    They leave and do not come home again.
