Job 39:7

CreationGod's power and sovereignty

5 Who set the wild donkey free? Who released the swift donkey from the harness?

6 I made the wilderness his home and the salt flats his dwelling.

He scorns the tumult of the city and never hears the shouts of a driver.

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?
