1 Knowest thou the tyme when the wilde gotes brige forth their yoge amoge the stony rockes? Or layest thou wayte when the hindes vse to fawne? 2 Rekenest thou the monethes after they ingendre, yt thou knowest the tyme of their bearinge? 3 Or when they lye downe, when they cast their yonge ones, & when they are delyuered off their trauayle & payne? 4 How their yoge ones growe vp & waxe greate thorow good fedinge? 5 who letteth the wilde asse go fre, or who lowseth the bodes of the Moole? 6 Vnto who I haue geuen the wyldernes to be their house, & the vntilled londe to be their dwellinge place. 7 That they maye geue no force for the multitude off people in the cities, nether to regarde the crienge of the dryuer: 8 but to seke their pasture aboute the moutaynes, & to folowe vpon the grene grasse. 9 Wyll the vnicorne be so tame as to do ye seruyce, or to abyde still by thy cribbe? 10 Cast thou bynde ye yock aboute him in thy forowes, to make him plowe after the in ye valleis?

Gill's Notes on the Bible
The range of the mountains [is] his pasture,.... It ranges about the mountains for food; it looks about for it, as the word signifies, and tries first one place and then another to get some, it having short commons there;
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 “range” יתור yâthûr, means properly a “searching out,” and then that which is obtained by search. The word “range” 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. “Acts of the Society of Sciences of Petersburg,” 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.
