13 An ostrich proudlyflaps her wings,but not becauseshe loves her young.
14 She abandons her eggsand lets the dusty groundkeep them warm.
15 And she doesn't seem to worrythat the feet of an animalcould crush them all.
16 She treats her eggs as thoughthey were not her own,unconcerned that her workmight be for nothing.
17 I myself made her foolishand without common sense.
18 But once she starts running,she laughs at a rideron the fastest horse.
19 Did you give horses their strengthand the flowing hairalong their necks?
