New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 39
1 “Do you know when the wild goats give birth? Have you watched as deer are born in the wild?
2 Do you know how many months they carry their young? Are you aware of the time of their delivery?
3 They crouch down to give birth to their young and deliver their offspring.
4 Their young grow up in the open fields, then leave home and never return.
5 “Who gives the wild donkey its freedom? Who untied its ropes?
6 I have placed it in the wilderness; its home is the wasteland.
7 It hates the noise of the city and has no driver to shout at it.
8 The mountains are its pastureland, where it searches for every blade of grass.
9 “Will the wild ox consent to being tamed? Will it spend the night in your stall?
10 Can you hitch a wild ox to a plow? Will it plow a field for you?
11 Given its strength, can you trust it? Can you leave and trust the ox to do your work?
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
