"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?
