⁵ Yea, the hind also in the field calveth, and forsaketh `her young', because there is no grass.

⁹ The voice of Jehovah maketh the hinds to calve, And strippeth the forests bare: And in his temple everything saith, Glory.

¹ Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? `Or' canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?

² Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? Or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?

³ They bow themselves, they bring forth their young, They cast out their pains.

⁴ Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field; They go forth, and return not again.

⁶ For the waters of Nimrim shall be desolate; for the grass is withered away, the tender grass faileth, there is no green thing.
