God Continues to Challenge Job

39 “Do you know the time when the wild (A)mountain goats bear young?
Or can you mark when (B)the deer gives birth?
Can you number the months that they fulfill?
Or do you know the time when they bear young?
They bow down,
They bring forth their young,
They deliver their [a]offspring.
Their young ones are healthy,
They grow strong with grain;
They depart and do not return to them.

  1. Job 39:3 Lit. pangs

39 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth?
or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
Canst thou number the months that they fulfil?
or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones,
they cast out their sorrows.
Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn;
they go forth, and return not unto them.
