Job 39: God Cares for the Wild Animals

God continues His questions to Job. He asks about the mountain goats giving birth, the wild donkey roaming free, the wild ox that will not serve Job, the ostrich that runs faster than a horse, the strong war horse, and the hawk and eagle. He asks, Is it by your wisdom that the hawk soars? Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up? God shows that He made, knows, and cares for every creature.
