1 ‘Do you know when the mountain goats give birth?Do you watch when the doe bears her fawn?
2 Do you count the months till they bear?Do you know the time they give birth?
3 They crouch down and bring forth their young;their labour pains are ended.
4 Their young thrive and grow strong in the wilds;they leave and do not return.
5 ‘Who let the wild donkey go free?Who untied its ropes?
6 I gave it the wasteland as its home,the salt flats as its habitat.
