Job 39:13-18 - The Ostrich

¹³ The wing of the rattling ones exulteth, Whether the pinion of the ostrich or hawk. ¹⁴ For she leaveth on the earth her eggs, And on the dust she doth warm them, ¹⁵ And she forgetteth that a foot may press it, And a beast of the field tread it down. ¹⁶ Her young ones it hath hardened without her, In vain is her labour without fear. ¹⁷ For God hath caused her to forget wisdom, And He hath not given a portion To her in understanding: ¹⁸ At the time on high she lifteth herself up, She laugheth at the horse and at his rider.
