Job 39:13-18

Christian Standard Bible

¹³ The wings of the ostrich flap joyfully,
but are her feathers and plumage like the stork’s?^[a](A)
14 She abandons her eggs on the ground
and lets them be warmed in the sand.
¹⁵ She forgets that a foot may crush them
or that some wild animal may trample them.
¹⁶ She treats her young harshly, as if they were not her own,
with no fear that her labor may have been in vain.
¹⁷ For God has deprived her of wisdom;
he has not endowed her with understanding.^(B)
18 When she proudly^[b] spreads her wings,
she laughs at the horse and its rider.
