American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth?Or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
Canst thou number the months that they fulfil?Or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
They bow themselves, they bring forth their young,They cast out their pains.
Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field;They go forth, and {Or, return not unto them}return not again.
Canst thou hunt the prey for the lioness,Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
When they couch in their dens,And abide in the covert to lie in wait?
Who provideth for the raven his prey,When his young ones cry unto God, And wander for lack of food?
Canst thou hunt the prey for the lioness,Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
When they couch in their dens,And abide in the covert to lie in wait?
Who provideth for the raven his prey,When his young ones cry unto God, And wander for lack of food?
to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, {Some ancient authorities omit to whom.}to whom be the glory {Greek: unto the ages.}for ever. Amen.
The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve,And strippeth the forests bare:And in his temple everything saith, Glory.
