16 \39:13\Gavest thou the goodly wings to the peacocks? or wings and feathers to the ostrich!

17 \39:14\Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in the dust,

18 \39:15\And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.

19 \39:16\She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labor is in vain without fear;

20 \39:17\Because God hath withheld wisdom from her, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.

21 \39:18\When she lifteth herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.

26 \39:23\The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.

27 \39:24\He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.

28 \39:25\He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

29 \39:26\Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings towards the south?

37 \40:4\Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.
