1"Are you acquainted with the way the mountain goats give birth? Do you watch as the wild deer give birth to their young? 1הֲיָדַ֗עְתָּ עֵ֭ת לֶ֣דֶת יַעֲלֵי־ סָ֑לַע חֹלֵ֖ל אַיָּל֣וֹת תִּשְׁמֹֽר׃
2Do you count the months they must fulfill, and do you know the time they give birth? 2תִּסְפֹּ֣ר יְרָחִ֣ים תְּמַלֶּ֑אנָה וְ֝יָדַ֗עְתָּ עֵ֣ת לִדְתָּֽנָה׃
3They crouch, they bear their young, they bring forth the offspring they have carried. 3תִּ֭כְרַעְנָה יַלְדֵיהֶ֣ן תְּפַלַּ֑חְנָה חֶבְלֵיהֶ֥ם תְּשַׁלַּֽחְנָה׃
4Their young grow strong, and grow up in the open; they go off, and do not return to them. 4יַחְלְמ֣וּ בְ֭נֵיהֶם יִרְבּ֣וּ בַבָּ֑ר יָ֝צְא֗וּ וְלֹא־ שָׁ֥בוּ לָֽמוֹ׃
5Who let the wild donkey go free? Who released the bonds of the donkey, 5מִֽי־ שִׁלַּ֣ח פֶּ֣רֶא חָפְשִׁ֑י וּמֹסְר֥וֹת עָ֝ר֗וֹד מִ֣י פִתֵּֽחַ׃
6to whom I appointed the steppe for its home, the salt wastes as its dwelling place? 6אֲשֶׁר־ שַׂ֣מְתִּי עֲרָבָ֣ה בֵית֑וֹ וּֽמִשְׁכְּנוֹתָ֥יו מְלֵֽחָה׃
7It scorns the tumult in the town; it does not hear the shouts of a driver. 7יִ֭שְׂחַק לַהֲמ֣וֹן קִרְיָ֑ה תְּשֻׁא֥וֹת נ֝וֹגֵ֗שׂ לֹ֣א יִשְׁמָֽע׃
8It ranges the hills as its pasture, and searches after every green plant. 8יְת֣וּר הָרִ֣ים מִרְעֵ֑הוּ וְאַחַ֖ר כָּל־ יָר֣וֹק יִדְרֽוֹשׁ׃
9Is the wild ox willing to be your servant? Will it spend the night at your feeding trough? 9הֲיֹ֣אבֶה רֵּ֣ים‪‬ עָבְדֶ֑ךָ אִם־ יָ֝לִ֗ין עַל־ אֲבוּסֶֽךָ׃
10Can you bind the wild ox to a furrow with its rope, will it till the valleys, following after you? 10הֲ‍ֽתִקְשָׁר־ רֵ֭ים בְּתֶ֣לֶם עֲבֹת֑וֹ אִם־ יְשַׂדֵּ֖ד עֲמָקִ֣ים אַחֲרֶֽיךָ׃
11Will you rely on it because its strength is great? Will you commit your labor to it? 11הֲֽתִבְטַח־ בּ֭וֹ כִּי־ רַ֣ב כֹּח֑וֹ וְתַעֲזֹ֖ב אֵלָ֣יו יְגִיעֶֽךָ׃
12Can you count on it to bring in your grain, and gather the grain to your threshing floor? 12הֲתַאֲמִ֣ין בּ֭וֹ כִּי־ [ישוב] (יָשִׁ֣יב) זַרְעֶ֑ךָ וְֽגָרְנְךָ֥ יֶאֱסֹֽף׃
13"The wings of the ostrich flap with joy, but are they the pinions and plumage of a stork? 13כְּנַף־ רְנָנִ֥ים נֶעֱלָ֑סָה אִם־ אֶ֝בְרָ֗ה חֲסִידָ֥ה וְנֹצָֽה׃
14For she leaves her eggs on the ground, and lets them be warmed on the soil. 14כִּֽי־ תַעֲזֹ֣ב לָאָ֣רֶץ בֵּצֶ֑יהָ וְֽעַל־ עָפָ֥ר תְּחַמֵּֽם׃
15She forgets that a foot might crush them, or that a wild animal might trample them. 15וַ֭תִּשְׁכַּח כִּי־ רֶ֣גֶל תְּזוּרֶ֑הָ וְחַיַּ֖ת הַשָּׂדֶ֣ה תְּדוּשֶֽׁהָ׃
16She is harsh with her young, as if they were not hers; she is unconcerned about the uselessness of her labor. 16הִקְשִׁ֣יחַ בָּנֶ֣יהָ לְּלֹא־ לָ֑הּ לְרִ֖יק יְגִיעָ֣הּ בְּלִי־ פָֽחַד׃
17For God deprived her of wisdom, and did not impart understanding to her. 17כִּֽי־ הִשָּׁ֣הּ אֱל֣וֹהַּ חָכְמָ֑ה וְלֹא־ חָ֥לַק לָ֝֗הּ בַּבִּינָֽה׃
18But as soon as she springs up, she laughs at the horse and its rider. 18כָּ֭עֵת בַּמָּר֣וֹם תַּמְרִ֑יא תִּֽשְׂחַ֥ק לַ֝סּ֗וּס וּלְרֹֽכְבֽוֹ׃
19"Do you give the horse its strength? Do you clothe its neck with a mane? 19הֲתִתֵּ֣ן לַסּ֣וּס גְּבוּרָ֑ה הֲתַלְבִּ֖ישׁ צַוָּאר֣וֹ רַעְמָֽה׃
20Do you make it leap like a locust? Its proud neighing is terrifying! 20הְֽ֭תַרְעִישֶׁנּוּ כָּאַרְבֶּ֑ה ה֖וֹד נַחְר֣וֹ אֵימָֽה׃
21It paws the ground in the valley, exulting mightily, it goes out to meet the weapons. 21יַחְפְּר֣וּ בָ֭עֵמֶק וְיָשִׂ֣ישׂ בְּכֹ֑חַ יֵ֝צֵ֗א לִקְרַאת־ נָֽשֶׁק׃
22It laughs at fear and is not dismayed; it does not shy away from the sword. 22יִשְׂחַ֣ק לְ֭פַחַד וְלֹ֣א יֵחָ֑ת וְלֹֽא־ יָ֝שׁ֗וּב מִפְּנֵי־ חָֽרֶב׃
23On it the quiver rattles; the lance and javelin flash. 23עָ֭לָיו תִּרְנֶ֣ה אַשְׁפָּ֑ה לַ֖הַב חֲנִ֣ית וְכִידֽוֹן׃
24In excitement and impatience it consumes the ground; it cannot stand still when the trumpet is blown. 24בְּרַ֣עַשׁ וְ֭רֹגֶז יְגַמֶּא־ אָ֑רֶץ וְלֹֽא־ יַ֝אֲמִ֗ין כִּי־ ק֥וֹל שׁוֹפָֽר׃
25At the sound of the trumpet, it says, 'Aha!' And from a distance it catches the scent of battle, the thunderous shouting of commanders, and the battle cries. 25בְּדֵ֤י שֹׁפָ֨ר ׀ יֹ֘אמַ֤ר הֶאָ֗ח וּֽ֭מֵרָחוֹק יָרִ֣יחַ מִלְחָמָ֑ה רַ֥עַם שָׂ֝רִים וּתְרוּעָֽה׃
26"Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars, and spreads its wings toward the south? 26הֲ‍ֽ֭מִבִּינָ֣תְךָ יַֽאֲבֶר־ נֵ֑ץ יִפְרֹ֖שׂ [כנפו] (כְּנָפָ֣יו) לְתֵימָֽן׃
27Is it at your command that the eagle soars, and builds its nest on high? 27אִם־ עַל־ פִּ֭יךָ יַגְבִּ֣יהַּ נָ֑שֶׁר וְ֝כִ֗י יָרִ֥ים קִנּֽוֹ׃
28It lives on a rock and spends the night there, on a rocky crag and a fortress. 28סֶ֣לַע יִ֭שְׁכֹּן וְיִתְלֹנָ֑ן עַֽל־ שֶׁן־ סֶ֝֗לַע וּמְצוּדָֽה׃
29From there it spots its prey, its eyes gaze intently from a distance. 29מִשָּׁ֥ם חָֽפַר־ אֹ֑כֶל לְ֝מֵרָח֗וֹק עֵינָ֥יו יַבִּֽיטוּ׃
30And its young ones devour the blood, and where the dead carcasses are, there it is." 30[ואפרחו] (וְאֶפְרֹחָ֥יו) יְעַלְעוּ־ דָ֑ם וּבַאֲשֶׁ֥ר חֲ֝לָלִ֗ים שָׁ֣ם הֽוּא׃ פ
