In context
11 Will you put your faith in him, because his strength is great? will you give the fruit of your work into his care?
12 Will you be looking for him to come back, and get in your seed to the crushing-floor?
13 Is the wing of the ostrich feeble, or is it because she has no feathers,
14 That she puts her eggs on the earth, warming them in the dust,
15 Without a thought that they may be crushed by the foot, and broken by the beasts of the field?
16 She is cruel to her young ones, as if they were not hers; her work is to no purpose; she has no fear.
17 For God has taken wisdom from her mind, and given her no measure of knowledge.
