Job 39:5-12
New American Standard Bible
5 “Who sent the (A)wild donkey out free?
And who opened the bonds of the swift donkey,
6 To whom I gave (B)the wilderness as his home,
And the salt land as his dwelling place?
7 He laughs at the turmoil of the city,
He does not hear the shouting of the taskmaster.
8 He explores the mountains of his pasture,
And searches after every green thing.
9 Will the (C)wild bull be willing to serve you,
Or will he spend the night at your feeding trough?
10 Can you tie down the wild bull in a furrow with [a]ropes,
Or will he [b]plow the valleys after you?
11 Will you trust him because his strength is great,
And leave your labor to him?
12 Will you have faith in him that he will return your [c]grain
And gather it from your threshing floor?
Job 39:5-12
English Standard Version
5 “Who has let the wild donkey go free?
Who has (A)loosed the bonds of the swift donkey,
6 to whom I have given (B)the arid plain for his home
and (C)the salt land for his dwelling place?
7 He scorns the tumult of the city;
he hears not the shouts of the driver.
8 He ranges the mountains as his pasture,
and he searches after every green thing.
9 “Is (D)the wild ox willing to serve you?
Will he spend the night at your (E)manger?
10 Can you bind (F)him in the furrow with ropes,
or will he harrow the valleys after you?
11 Will you depend on him because his strength is great,
and will you leave to him your labor?
12 Do you have faith in him that he will return your grain
and gather it to your threshing floor?
