Thomson(i)
1 Hast thou known the time of the rock-goat's delivery, and watched the pangs of hinds in travail?
2 Hast thou numbered the months they go with young, and hast thou dismissed their pangs?
3 Hast thou brought up their young, devoid of fear, and wilt thou dismiss their pangs also?
4 Shall they cast off their young, and be encreased with a new progeny, and shall they go forth and no more return to them?
5 Who hath sent forth the wild ass free, and who hath loosed his bands?
6 As I made the desart his habitation, and the saltish soil his place of encampment;
7 he scorneth the crowds of a city, and regardeth not the clamours of a driver.
8 The range of mountains he will consider as his pasture, and he search eth after every thing green.
9 Will the unicorn condescend to serve thee, or to go to rest at thy stall?
10 Canst thou bind his yoke with thongs, or will he draw thy furrows in the field?
11 Hast thou relied on him because his strength is great?
12 Wilt thou leave thy labours to him, and trust that he will carry out thy seed, and bring home thy threshed grain?
