Job 39:13-17

13 pinna strutionum similis est pinnis herodii et accipitris

14 quando derelinquit in terra ova sua tu forsitan in pulvere calefacis ea

15 obliviscitur quod pes conculcet ea aut bestiae agri conterant

16 duratur ad filios suos quasi non sint sui frustra laboravit nullo timore cogente

17 privavit enim eam Deus sapientia nec dedit illi intellegentiam

Job 39:13-17 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOB 39

This chapter treats of various creatures, beasts and birds, which Job had little knowledge of, had no concern in the making of them, and scarcely any power over them; as of the goats and hinds, Job 39:1-4; of the wild ass, Job 39:5-8; of the unicorn, Job 39:9-12; of the peacock and ostrich, Job 39:13-18; of the horse, Job 39:19-25; and of the hawk and eagle, Job 39:26-30.
