Job 39:2
1 “Do you know when mountain goats give birth? Have you watched the doe bear her fawn?
Can you count the months they are pregnant? Do you know the time they give birth?
3 They crouch down and bring forth their young; they deliver their newborn.
4 Their young ones thrive and grow up in the open field; they leave and do not return.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.

a wild donkey at home in the wilderness, sniffing the wind in the heat of her desire. Who can restrain her passion? All who seek her need not weary themselves; in mating season they will find her.
