Job 39:5-12 (Listen)

• Job 38
• Job 39
• Job 40

5 “Who has let the wild donkey go free?

Who has jloosed the bonds of the swift donkey,

6 to whom I have given kthe arid plain for his home

and lthe salt land for his dwelling place?

7 He scorns the tumult of the city;

he hears not the shouts of the driver.

8 He ranges the mountains as his pasture,

and he searches after every green thing.

9 “Is mthe wild ox willing to serve you?

Will he spend the night at your nmanger?

10 Can you bind mhim in the furrow with ropes,

or will he harrow the valleys after you?

11 Will you depend on him because his strength is great,

and will you leave to him your labor?

12 Do you have faith in him that he will return your grain

and gather it to your threshing floor?
