  • 1. Knowest thou the time when the wild goates of the rocke bring forth? or canst thou marke when the hindes doe calue?
  • 2. Canst thou number the moneths that they fulfill? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
  • 3. They bowe themselues, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrowes.
  • 4. Their yong ones are in good liking, they grow vp with corne: they go forth, and returne not vnto them.
  • 5. Who hath sent out the wild asse free? or who hath looosed the bands of the wild asse?
  • 6. Whose house I haue made the wildernesse, and the barren lande his dwellings.
  • 7. He scorneth the multitude of the citie, neither regardeth he the crying of the driuer.
  • 8. The range of the mountaines is his pasture, and hee searcheth after euery greene thing.
  • 9. Will the Unicorne be willing to serue thee? or abide by thy cribbe?
  • 10. Canst thou binde the Unicorne with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleyes after thee?
  • 11. Wilt thou trust him because his strength is great? or wilt thou leaue thy labour to him?
  • 12. Wilt thou beleeue him that hee will bring home thy seed? and gather it into thy barne?
  • 13. Gauest thou the goodly wings vnto the peacocks, or wings and feathers vnto the Ostrich?
  • 14. Which leaueth her egges in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,
  • 15. And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wilde beast may breake them.
  • 16. She is hardened against her yong ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vaine without feare.
  • 17. Because God hath depriued her of wisedome, neither hath he imparted to her vnderstanding.
  • 18. What time she lifteth vp her selfe on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
  • 19. Hast thou giuen the horse strength? hast thou clothed his necke with thunder?
  • 20. Canst thou make him afraid as a grashopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
  • 21. He paweth in the valley, and reioyceth in his strength: hee goeth on to meet the armed men.
  • 22. He mocketh at feare, and is not affrighted: neither turneth he backe from the sword.
  • 23. The quiuer ratleth against him, the glittering speare and the shield.
  • 24. He swalloweth the ground with fiercenesse and rage: neither beleeueth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
  • 25. Hee saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha: and he smelleth the battaile afarre off, the thunder of the captaines, and the shouting.
  • 26. Doeth the hawke flie by thy wisedome, and stretch her wings toward the South?
  • 27. Doeth the Eagle mount vp at thy commaund? and make her nest on high?
  • 28. She dwelleth and abideth on the rocke, vpon the cragge of the rocke, and the strong place.
  • 29. From thence she seeketh the pray, and her eyes behold a farre off.
  • 30. Her yong ones also suck vp blood: and where the slaine are, there is he.
