Contextual Overview

1 Knowest thou the time when the wilde goates bring foorth yong? or doest thou marke when the hindes doe calue? 2 Canst thou nomber the moneths that they fulfill? or knowest thou the time when they bring foorth? 3 They bow them selues: they bruise their yong and cast out their sorowes. 4 Yet their yong waxe fatte, and growe vp with corne: they goe foorth and returne not vnto them. 5 Who hath set the wilde asse at libertie? or who hath loosed the bondes of the wilde asse? 6 It is I which haue made the wildernesse his house, and the salt places his dwellings. 7 He derideth the multitude of the citie: he heareth not the crie of the driuer. 8 He seeketh out the mountaine for his pasture, and searcheth after euery greene thing. 9 Will the vnicorne serue thee? or will he tary by thy cribbe? 10 Canst thou binde the vnicorne with his band to labour in the furrowe? or will he plowe the valleyes after thee?

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?

f Nat. Hist. l. 8. c. 50. g Ib. c. 32. h Ib. & l. 2. c. 47. Aristot. Hist. Animal. l. 6. c. 29. Solinus, c. 31.

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.
