Bible in Basic English
"He makes sport of the noise of the town; the voice of the driver does not come to his ears;"
— Job 39:7, Bible in Basic English
“He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.”
Their young ones are strong, living in the open country; they go out and do not come back again.
Who has let the ass of the fields go free? or made loose the bands of the loud-voiced beast?
To whom I have given the waste land for a heritage, and the salt land as a living-place.
He makes sport of the noise of the town; the voice of the driver does not come to his ears;
He goes looking for his grass-lands in the mountains, searching out every green thing.
Will the ox of the mountains be your servant? or is his night's resting-place by your food-store?
Will he be pulling your plough with cords, turning up the valleys after you?
