Job 39:16 Context
14Which leaueth her egges in the earth, and warmeth them in dust, 15And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wilde beast may breake them. 16She is hardened against her yong ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vaine without feare. 17Because God hath depriued her of wisedome, neither hath he imparted to her vnderstanding. 18What time she lifteth vp her selfe on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
