Contextual Overview
1 Do you know the time when the wild goats of the rock bear? Do you observe the calving of deer? 2 Can you tell the months they fulfill; or do you know the time for their bearing, 3 when they crouch and bring forth; they send out their pangs? 4 Their sons are strong; they multiply with grain; they go forth and do not return to them. 5 Who has sent out the wild ass free, or who has loosened the bands of the wild ass? 6 To whom I have assigned the desert for his home, and the salt land for his dwellings? 7 He laughs at the roar of the city; he does not hear the driver's shouts; 8 he seeks out mountains for his pasture; and he searches after every green thing. 9 Will the wild ox consent to be your servant, or spend the night by your feed-trough? 10 Can you tie the wild ox in the furrow with his rope? Or will he harrow the valleys for you?

and he searcheth after every green thing; herb or plant, be it what it will that is green, it seeks after; and which being scarce in deserts and mountains, it searches about for and feeds upon it, wherever it can find it; grass being the peculiar food of these creatures, see Job 6:5; and which is observed by naturalists x.
x Oppiani Cyneget. l. 3.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The range of the mountains is his pasture - The word rendered ârangeâ ×ת×ר yaÌthuÌr, means properly a âsearching out,â and then that which is obtained by search. The word ârangeâ expresses the idea with sufficient exactness. The usual range of the wild ass is the mountains. Pallas, who has given a full description of the habits of the Onager, or wild ass, states, that it, especially loves desolate hills as its abode. âActs of the Society of Sciences of Petersburg,â for the year 1777.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Job 39:8. The range of the mountains — The mountains and desert places are his peculiar places of pasture; and he lives on any thing that is green, or any kind of vegetable production.
