Job 39:13-18 - The Ostrich

13 The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully, but they cannot compare with the pinions and feathers of the stork. 14 She lays her eggs on the ground and lets them warm in the sand. 15 She is unaware that a foot may crush them, that some wild animal may trample them. 16 She treats her young cruelly, as if they were not hers. Even if her labor is in vain, she is unconcerned. 17 This is because God has made her forget wisdom. He has not given her a share of understanding. 18 When she lifts herself on high, she laughs at the horse and his rider.
