39 “Do you know when the mountain goat gives birth?
    Do you watch the doe as it calves its young?
² Can you count the months of their gestation?
    Do you know the time when they give birth,
³ when they crouch down^[a] to give birth^[b] to their offspring,
    and let go^[c] of their birth pangs?
⁴ Their young are strong;
    they grow up in the open field;
then they go off
    and don’t return to them.”
