1 Do you know when mountain goats are born,or watch for the birth pangs of deer,
2 Number the months that they must fulfill,or know when they give birth,
3 When they crouch down and drop their young,when they deliver their progeny?
4 Their offspring thrive and grow in the open,they leave and do not return.
5 Who has given the wild donkey his freedom,and who has loosed the wild ass from bonds?
6 I have made the wilderness his homeand the salt flats his dwelling.
