1 Know you the time of birthing of the wild goats of the rock? - observe the writhing of the hinds?
2 - scribe the moons that they fulfill? - know the time they birth?
3 They kneel; they adhere to their children; they send their pangs;
4 their sons are plump; they abound with grain; they go forth never to return.
5 Who releases the runner liberated? Who looses the bands of the onager?
6 - whose house I have set the plains and the saltland his tabernacles.
7 He ridicules the multitude of the city; he hears not the clamorings of the exactor;
8 the gleanings of the mountains is his pasture and he searches after all the green.
9 The reem - wills he to serve you? - to stay overnight by your manger?
10 - to bind the reem with his band in the furrow? - to harrow the valleys after you?
11 - to confide in him because his force is great? - to leave your labor to him?
12 - to trust him to return your seed? - to gather it into your threshingfloor?
13 Or pinions to leap for joy? Or plumage to the stork?
14 - who leaves her eggs in the earth and heats them in dust;
15 and forgets that the foot may squeeze them; or that the field life may trample them.
16 She hardens her sons as though they are not hers; her labor is in vain without dread:
17 for Elohah exacts wisdom from her; he allots her no discernment;
18 at the time she flaps in the heights she ridicules the horse and his rider.
19 Give you the horse might? - enrobe his neck with thunder?
20 - quiver him as a locust? The majesty of his nostrils is terror.
21 He digs in the valley and rejoices in his force; he goes on to confront the armour.
22 He ridicules dread and is not dismayed; he turns not back from the face of the sword;
23 the quiver whizzes against him - the flaming spear and the dart:
24 he swallows the earth with quaking and commotion; he trusts not the voice of the shophar.
25 He says among the shophars, Aha! And he scents the war afar off - the thunder of the governors and the shouting.
26 Soars the hawk by your discernment? - spreads her wings toward the south?
27 Comes the eagle at your mouth and makes her nest on high?
28 She tabernacles and stays overnight on the rock - on the crag of the rock and the hunthold;
29 from thence she explores for food; her eyes scan afar off;
30 her chicks suck blood; and where the pierced are, there she is.
