Job 39:17
Verse 17 of 30. The 39th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.
13“The wings of the ostrich wave proudly, but are they the feathers and plumage of love?
14For she leaves her eggs on the earth, warms them in the dust,
15and forgets that the foot may crush them, or that the wild animal may trample them.
16She deals harshly with her young ones, as if they were not hers. Though her labor is in vain, she is without fear,
17because God has deprived her of wisdom, neither has he imparted to her understanding.
18When she lifts up herself on high, she scorns the horse and his rider.
19“Have you given the horse might? Have you clothed his neck with a quivering mane?
20Have you made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his snorting is awesome.
21He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength. He goes out to meet the armed men.
