They leave and don't come back.

The Wild Donkey 5 "Who lets the wild donkey go free?

Who unties the ropes of the wild donkey?

6 I gave it the desert to live in and the salt flats as its dwelling place.

7 It laughs at the noise of the city and doesn't even listen to the shouting of its master.

8 It explores the mountains for its pasture and looks for anything green.

The Wild Ox 9 "Will the wild ox agree to serve you, or will it stay at night beside your feeding trough?

10 Can you guide a wild ox in a furrow, or will it plow the valleys behind you?

11 Can you trust it just because it's so strong or leave your labor to it?

12 Can you rely on it to bring your grain back and take it to your threshing floor?a The Ostrich 13 "Does the ostrich flap its wings in joy, or do its wings lack feathers?b 14 It lays its eggs on the ground and warms them in the dust.

15 It forgets that a foot may crush them or a wild animal may trample them.

16 It acts harshly toward its young as if they weren't its own.

It is not afraid that its work is for nothing 17 because Eloah has deprived it of wisdom and did not give it any understanding.

18 It laughs at the horse and its rider when it gets up to flee.

The Horse 19 "Can you give strength to a horse or dress its neck with a flowing mane?

20 Can you make it leap like a locust, when its snorting causes terror?

21 It paws in strength and finds joy in its power.

It charges into battle.

22 It laughs at fear, is afraid of nothing, and doesn't back away from swords.

23 A quiver of arrows rattles on it along with the flashing spear and javelin.

24 Anxious and excited, the horse eats up the ground and doesn't trust the sound of the ram's horn.

25 As often as the horn sounds, the horse says, 'Aha!'

and it smells the battle far away- the thundering orders of the captains and the battle cries.

The Birds of Prey 26 "Does your understanding make a bird of prey fly and spread its wings toward the south?

27 Is it by your order that the eagle flies high and makes its nest on the heights?

28 It perches for the night on a cliff.

Its fortress is on a jagged peak.

29 From there it seeks food, and its eyes see it from far away.

30 Its young ones feed on blood.

It is found wherever there are dead bodies."

The LORD Speaks 401 Yahweh responded to Job, 2 "Will the person who finds fault with Shadday correct him?

Will the person who argues with Eloah answer him?"

Job Speaks 3 Job answered Yahweh, 4 "I'm so insignificant. How can I answer you?

I will put my hand over my mouth.

5 I spoke once, but I can't answer- twice, but not again."

The LORD Speaks: Can You Be Like Me, Job?

6 Then Yahweh responded to Job out of a storm, 7 "Brace yourself like a man!

I will ask you, and you will teach me.

8 "Would you undo my justice?

Would you condemn me so that you can be righteous?

9 Do you have power like El's?

Can you thunder with a voice like his?

10 Then dress yourself in majesty and dignity.

Clothe yourself in splendor and glory.

11 Unleash your outbursts of anger.

Look at all who are arrogant, and put them down.

12 Look at all who are arrogant, and humble them.

Crush wicked people wherever they are.

13 Hide them completely in the dust, and cover their faces in the hidden place.

14 Then even I will praise you because your right hand can save you.

Can You Conquer Behemoth, Job?

15 "Look at Behemoth,a which I made along with you.

It eats grass as cattle do.

16 Look at the strength in its back muscles, the power in its stomach muscles.

17 It makes its tail stiff like a cedar.

The ligaments of its thighs are intertwined.

18 Its bones are bronze tubes.

They are like iron bars.

19 Behemoth is the first of El's conquests.

Its maker approaches it with his sword.

20 The hills bring it food, and all the wild animals play there.

21 It lies down under the lotus plants in a hiding place among reeds and swamps.

22 Lotus plants provide it with cover.

Poplars by the stream surround it.

23 Though the river flows powerfully against it, it's not alarmed.

It's confident even when the Jordan rushes against its mouth.

24 Can anyone blind its eyesa or pierce its nose with snares?

The LORD Continues: Can You Conquer Leviathan, Job?

b411 "Can you pull Leviathanc out of the water with a fishhook or tie its tongue down with a rope?

2 Can you put a ring through its nose or pierce its jaw with a hook?

3 Will it plead with you for mercy or speak tenderly to you?

4 Will it make an agreement with you so that you can take it as your permanent slave?

5 Can you play with it like a bird or keep it on a leash for your girls?

6 Will traders bargain over it and divide it among the merchants?

7 Can you fill its hide with harpoons or its head with fishing spears?

8 Lay your hand on it.

Think of the struggle!

Don't do it again!

9 Certainly, any hope of defeating it is a false hope.

Doesn't the sight of it overwhelm you?

10 No one is brave enough to provoke Leviathan.

Then who can stand in front of med 11 Who can confront me that I should repay him?

Everything under heaven belongs to me!

12 "I will not be silent about Leviathan's limbs, its strength, or its graceful form.

13 Who can skin its hide?

Who can approach it with a harness?

14 Who can open its closed mouth?

Its teeth are surrounded by terror.

15 Its back has rows of scales that are tightly sealed.

16 One is so close to the other that there is no space between them.

17 Each is joined to the other.

They are locked together and inseparable.

18 When Leviathan sneezes, it gives out a flash of light.

Its eyes are like the first rays of the dawn.

19 Flames shoot from its mouth.

Sparks of fire fly from it.

20 Smoke comes from its nostrils like a boiling pot heated over brushwood.

21 Its breath sets coals on fire, and a flame pours from its mouth.

22 Strength resides in its neck, and power dances in front of it.

23 The folds of its flesh stick to each other.
