"Do you know the time when the wild mountain goats bear young? Or can you mark when the deer gives birth?
2
Can you number the months that they fulfill? Or do you know the time when they bear young?

4
Their young ones are healthy, They grow strong with grain; They depart and do not return to them.

"Who set the wild donkey free? Who loosed the bonds of the onager,
6
Whose home I have made the wilderness, And the barren land his dwelling?
7
He scorns the tumult of the city; He does not heed the shouts of the driver.
8
The range of the mountains is his pasture, And he searches after every green thing.

"Will the wild ox be willing to serve you? Will he bed by your manger?
10
Can you bind the wild ox in the furrow with ropes? Or will he plow the valleys behind you?
