" The wings of the ostrich wave proudly; But are they the pinions and plumage of love? "
— Job 39:13, American Standard Version
“Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?”
“"The wings of the ostrich wave proudly; but are they the feathers and plumage of love?”
““The wings of the ostrich flap with joy, but are they the pinions and plumage of a stork?”
“The wing of the ostrich is like the wings of the heron, and of the hawk.”
“Is the wing of the ostrich feeble, or is it because she has no feathers,”
“Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?”
Canst thou bind the wild-ox with his band in the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? Or wilt thou leave to him thy labor?
Wilt thou confide in him, that he will bring home thy seed, And gatherthe grainof thy threshing-floor?
The wings of the ostrich wave proudly; But are they the pinions and plumage of love?
For she leaveth her eggs on the earth, And warmeth them in the dust,
And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, Or that the wild beast may trample them.
She dealeth hardly with her young ones, as if they were not hers: Though her labor be in vain, she is without fear;
