  • 1. Knowest thou the time when the wilde goates bring foorth yong? or doest thou marke when the hindes doe calue?
  • 2. Canst thou nomber the moneths that they fulfill? or knowest thou the time when they bring foorth?
  • 3. They bow them selues: they bruise their yong and cast out their sorowes.
  • 4. Yet their yong waxe fatte, and growe vp with corne: they goe foorth and returne not vnto them.

  • 9. Will the vnicorne serue thee? or will he tary by thy cribbe?

  • 17. For God had depriued him of wisedom, and hath giuen him no part of vnderstanding.
  • 18. When time is, he mounteth on hie: he mocketh the horse and his rider.
