The Ostrich Lacking Wisdom

Job 39:13-18

The wing of the ostrich is like the wings of the heron, and of the hawk.

When she leaveth her eggs on the earth, thou perhaps wilt warm them in the dust.

She forgetteth that the foot may tread upon them, or that the beasts of the field may break them.

She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers, she hath laboured in vain, no fear constraining her.

For God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he given her understanding.

When time shall be, she setteth up her wings on high: she scorneth the horse and his rider.
