Job 39:10

CreationGod's power and sovereignty

8 He roams the mountains for pasture, searching for any green thing.

9 Will the wild ox consent to serve you? Will he stay by your manger at night?

Can you hold him to the furrow with a harness? Will he plow the valleys behind you?

11 Can you rely on his great strength? Will you leave your hard work to him?

12 Can you trust him to bring in your grain and gather it to your threshing floor?
