Job 39:16-18
Contemporary English Version
16 She treats her eggs as though
they were not her own,
unconcerned that her work
might be for nothing.
17 I myself made her foolish
and without common sense.
18 But once she starts running,[a]
she laughs at a rider
on the fastest horse.

Job 39:16-18
New King James Version
16 She (A)treats her young harshly, as though they were not hers;
Her labor is in vain, without [a]concern,
17 Because God deprived her of wisdom,
And did not (B)endow her with understanding.
18 When she lifts herself on high,
She scorns the horse and its rider.
