In context
10 Canst thou bind the wild-ox, so that—with the ridge—shall run his cord? Or will he harrow the furrows after thee?
11 Wilt thou trust in him, because of the greatness of his strength? Wilt thou leave unto him thy toil?
12 Wilt thou put faith in him, that he will bring back thy seed? and that, corn for thy threshing-floor, he will gather?
13 The wing of the Ostrich that waveth itself joyfully, Is it the pinion of lovingkindness or the plumage?
14 For she leaveth—to the earth—her eggs, and, on the dust, she letteth them be warmed;
15 And hath forgotten, that, a foot, may crush them,—or, the wild beast, tread on them!
16 Dealing hardly with her young, as none-of-hers, In vain, her labour, without dread.
