"For she leaveth her eggs on the earth, And warmeth them in the dust, "
— Job 39:14, American Standard Version
“Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,”
“For she leaves her eggs on the earth, warms them in the dust,”
“For she leaves her eggs on the ground, and lets them be warmed on the soil.”
“When she leaveth her eggs on the earth, thou perhaps wilt warm them in the dust.”
“That she puts her eggs on the earth, warming them in the dust,”
“Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,”
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;
Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, Neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
