Job 39:13-18 - The Ostrich

13 "[The] wings of [the] female ostrich flap-- [are they] [the] pinions of [the] stork or [the] falcon? 14 Indeed, it leaves its eggs to the earth, and it lets [them] be warmed on [the] ground, 15 and it forgets that a foot might crush an egg, and {a wild animal} might trample it. 16 It deals cruelly with its young ones, as [if] [they were] not its [own], as [if] without fear [that] its labor [were] in vain, 17 because God made it forget wisdom, and he did not give it a share in understanding. 18 When it spreads its wings {aloft}, it laughs at the horse and its rider.
