Douay Bible - Job Chapter 39

Job 39:1
Knowest thou the time when the wild goats bring forth among the rocks, or hast thou observed the hinds when they fawn?

Job 39:2
Hast thou numbered the months of their conceiving, or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?

Job 39:3
They bow themselves to bring forth young, and they cast them, and send forth roarings.

Job 39:4
Their young are weaned and go to feed : they go forth, and return not to them.

Who hath sent out the wild ass free, and who hath loosed his bonds?

To whom I have given a house in the wilderness, and his dwellings in the barren land.

Job 39:7
He scorneth the multitude of the city, he heareth not the cry of the driver.

Job 39:8
He looketh round about the mountains of his pasture, and seeketh for every green thing.

Job 39:9
Shall the rhinoceros be willing to serve thee, or will he stay at thy crib?

Job 39:10
Canst thou bind the rhinoceros with thy thong to plough, or will he break the clods of the valleys after thee?

Job 39:11
Wilt thou have confidence in his great strength, and leave thy labours to him?

Job 39:12
Wilt thou trust him that he will render thee the seed, and gather it into thy barnfloor?

Job 39:13
The wing of the ostrich is like the wings of the heron, and of the hawk.

Job 39:14
When she leaveth her eggs on the earth, thou perhaps wilt warm them in the dust.

Job 39:15
She forgetteth that the foot may tread upon them, or that the beasts of the field may break them.

Job 39:16
She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers, she hath laboured in vain, no fear constraining her.

Job 39:17
For God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he given her understanding.

Job 39:18
When time shall be, she setteth up her wings on high : she scorneth the horse and his rider.

Wilt thou give strength to the horse, or clothe his neck with neighing?

Job 39:20
Wilt thou lift him up like the locusts? the glory of his nostrils is terror.

Job 39:22
He despiseth fear, he turneth not his back to the sword,

Job 39:23
Above him shall the quiver rattle, the spear and shield shall glitter.

Job 39:24
Chasing and raging he swalloweth the ground, neither doth he make account when the noise of the trumpet soundeth.

Job 39:25
When he heareth the trumpet he saith : Ha, ha : he smelleth the battle afar off, the encouraging of the captains, and the shouting of the army.

Job 39:26
Doth the hawk wax feathered by thy wisdom, spreading her wings to the south?

Job 39:27
Will the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest in high places?

Job 39:28
She abideth among the rocks, and dwelleth among cragged flints, and stony hills, where there is no access.

Job 39:29
From thence she looketh for the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.

Job 39:30
Her young ones shall suck up blood : and wheresoever the carcass shall be, she is immediately there.

Job 39:31
And the Lord went on, and said to Job :

Job 39:32
Shall he that contendeth with God be so easily silenced? surely he that reproveth God, ought to answer him.

Job 39:33
Then Job answered the Lord, and said :

Job 39:34
One thing I have spoken, which I wish I had not said : and another, to which I will add no more.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...
