Contextual Overview
1 Have you knowledge of the rock-goats? or do you see the roes giving birth to their young? 2 Is the number of their months fixed by you? or is the time when they give birth ordered by you? 3 They are bent down, they give birth to their young, they let loose the fruit of their body. 4 Their young ones are strong, living in the open country; they go out and do not come back again. 5 Who has let the ass of the fields go free? or made loose the bands of the loud-voiced beast? 6 To whom I have given the waste land for a heritage, and the salt land as a living-place. 7 He makes sport of the noise of the town; the voice of the driver does not come to his ears; 8 He goes looking for his grass-lands in the mountains, searching out every green thing. 9 Will the ox of the mountains be your servant? or is his night's resting-place by your food-store? 10 Will he be pulling your plough with cords, turning up the valleys after you?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Canst thou number the months [that] they fulfil?.... Which some understand both of wild goats and hinds. Common goats fulfil five months, they conceive in November, and bring forth in March, as Pliny f observes; but how many the wild goats of the rock fulfil is not said by him or any other I know of: the same writer says g of hinds, that they go eight months;
or knowest thou the time when they bring forth? naturalists h tell us, that the hinds conceive after the rise of the star Arcturus, which rises eleven days before the autumnal equinox; so that they conceive in September; and as they go eight months, they bring forth in April; but then the exact time to a day and hour is not known. Besides, who has fixed the time for their bringing forth, and carries them in it through so many dangers and difficulties? None but the Lord himself. Now if such common things in nature were not known perfectly by Job, how should he be able to search into and find out the causes and reasons of God's providential dealings with men, or what is in the womb of Providence?

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Canst thou number the months ... - That is, as they wander in the wilderness, as they live in inaccessible crags and cliffs of the rocks, it is impossible for man to be acquainted with their habits as he can with those of the domestic animals.
