Chapter 39 proceeds with God's proclamation of His kindness toward inferior creatures, and Job's lack of knowledge of these creatures and the little influence he had upon them.
"Do you know how mountain goats give birth?" "Do you know what makes wild donkeys wild?" "Do you know why the ostrich lays her eggs on the ground and ignores them?" "Did you know that God deprived her of wisdom but when she runs, she outruns the fastest horse?" "Do you know how a hawk sours in the sky?" These and other questions God asks of Job to humble him and make him understand his place in the world of things.
