Job 39:5-12
Authorized (King James) Version
5 Who hath sent out the wild ass free?
or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?
6 Whose house I have made the wilderness,
and the barren land his dwellings.
7 He scorneth the multitude of the city,
neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.
8 The range of the mountains is his pasture,
and he searcheth after every green thing.
9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee,
or abide by thy crib?
10 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow?
or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great?
or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed,
and gather it into thy barn?
Job 39:5-12
New King James Version
5 “Who set the wild donkey free?
Who loosed the bonds of the [a]onager,
6 (A)Whose home I have made the wilderness,
And the [b]barren land his dwelling?
7 He scorns the tumult of the city;
He does not heed the shouts of the driver.
8 The range of the mountains is his pasture,
And he searches after (B)every green thing.
9 “Will the (C)wild ox be willing to serve you?
Will he bed by your manger?
10 Can you bind the wild ox in the furrow with ropes?
Or will he plow the valleys behind you?
11 Will you trust him because his strength is great?
Or will you leave your labor to him?
12 Will you trust him to bring home your [c]grain,
And gather it to your threshing floor?
