Job 39:13-18

^{Tools
13}

“The ostriches’ wings flap joyously
With the pinion and plumage of ^(a)love,

^{Tools
14}

For she abandons her eggs to the earth
And warms them in the dust,

^{Tools
15}

And she forgets that a foot may crush ^(b)them,
Or that a wild beast may trample ^(c)them.

^{Tools
16}

“She treats her young ^(A)cruelly, as if they were not hers;
Though her labor be in vain, she is ^(d)unconcerned;

^{Tools
17}

Because God has made her forget wisdom,
And has not given her a share of understanding.

^{Tools
18}

“When she lifts herself ^(e)on high,
She laughs at the horse and his rider.
