Job 39:15-25
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 39
15And she forgets that a foot may crush them, Or that a wild animal may trample them. 16She treats her young cruelly, as if they were not hers; Though her labor is for nothing, she is unconcerned, 17Because God has made her forget wisdom, And has not given her a share of understanding. 18When she rushes away on high, She laughs at the horse and his rider. 19'Do you give the horse his might? Do you clothe his neck with a mane? 20Do you make him leap like locusts? His majestic snorting is frightening. 21 He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength; He goes out to meet the battle. 22He laughs at fear and is not dismayed; And he does not turn back from the sword. 23The quiver rattles against him, The flashing spear and javelin. 24He races over the ground with a roar and fury, And he does not stand still when he hears the sound of the trumpet. 25As often as the trumpet sounds he says, ‘Aha!’ And he senses the battle from afar, And the thunder of the captains and the war cry.King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 39
15She forgets that a foot may crush them or that some wild animal may trample them. 16She treats her young harshly, as if they were not her own, with no fear that her labor may have been in vain. 17For God has deprived her of wisdom; he has not endowed her with understanding.
18When she proudly spreads her wings, she laughs at the horse and its rider.
19Do you give strength to the horse? Do you adorn his neck with a mane?
20Do you make him leap like a locust? His proud snorting fills one with terror.
21He paws in the valley and rejoices in his strength; he charges into battle.
22He laughs at fear, since he is afraid of nothing; he does not run from the sword.
23A quiver rattles at his side, along with a flashing spear and a javelin.
24He charges ahead with trembling rage; he cannot stand still at the trumpet’s sound.
New Living Translation
Chapter 39
15She doesn’t worry that a foot might crush them or a wild animal might destroy them. 16She is harsh toward her young, as if they were not her own. She doesn’t care if they die. 17For God has deprived her of wisdom. He has given her no understanding. 18But whenever she jumps up to run, she passes the swiftest horse with its rider.
19'Have you given the horse its strength or clothed its neck with a flowing mane?
20Did you give it the ability to leap like a locust? Its majestic snorting is terrifying!
21It paws the earth and rejoices in its strength when it charges out to battle.
22It laughs at fear and is unafraid. It does not run from the sword.
23The arrows rattle against it, and the spear and javelin flash.
24It paws the ground fiercely and rushes forward into battle when the ram’s horn blows.
25It snorts at the sound of the horn. It senses the battle in the distance. It quivers at the captain’s commands and the noise of battle.

Chapter 39
15forgetting that a foot may crush them and that the wild beast may trample them. 16She deals cruelly with her young, as if they were not hers; though her labor be in vain, yet she has no fear, 17because God has made her forget wisdom and given her no share in understanding. 18When she rouses herself to flee, she laughs at the horse and his rider. 19"Do you give the horse his might? Do you clothe his neck with a mane? 20Do you make him leap like the locust? His majestic snorting is terrifying. 21He paws in the valley and exults in his strength; he goes out to meet the weapons. 22He laughs at fear and is not dismayed; he does not turn back from the sword. 23Upon him rattle the quiver, the flashing spear, and the javelin. 24With fierceness and rage he swallows the ground; he cannot stand still at the sound of the trumpet. 25When the trumpet sounds, he says ‘Aha!’ He smells the battle from afar, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.New International Version
Chapter 39
15unmindful that a foot may crush them, that some wild animal may trample them. 16She treats her young harshly, as if they were not hers; she cares not that her labor was in vain, 17for God did not endow her with wisdom or give her a share of good sense.
18Yet when she spreads her feathers to run, she laughs at horse and rider.
19"Do you give the horse its strength or clothe its neck with a flowing mane?
20Do you make it leap like a locust, striking terror with its proud snorting?
21It paws fiercely, rejoicing in its strength, and charges into the fray.
22It laughs at fear, afraid of nothing; it does not shy away from the sword.
23The quiver rattles against its side, along with the flashing spear and lance.
24In frenzied excitement it eats up the ground; it cannot stand still when the trumpet sounds.
