In context
13 [Gavest thou] the goodly wings to the peacocks? or wings and feathers to the ostrich!
14 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in the dust,
15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
16 She is hardened against her young ones, as though [they were] not hers: her labor is in vain without fear;
17 Because God hath withheld wisdom from her, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
18 When she lifteth herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
19 Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
