12 Can you trust the ox to bring in your grainand gather it to your threshing floor?
13 “The wings of the ostrich flap happily,but they are not like the feathers of the stork.
14 The ostrich lays its eggs on the groundand lets them warm in the sand.
15 It does not stop to think that a foot might step on them and crush them;it does not care that some animal might walk on them.
16 The ostrich is cruel to its young, as if they were not even its own.It does not care that its work is for nothing,
17 because God did not give the ostrich wisdom;God did not give it a share of good sense.
18 But when the ostrich gets up to run, it is so fastthat it laughs at the horse and its rider.
