Contextual Overview

1 Knowest thou the time whe the wylde goates bring foorth their young among the stonye rockes? or layest thou wayte when the hindes vse to calue? 2 Canst thou number the monethes that they go with young? or knowest thou the time when they bring foorth? 3 They lye downe, they calue their young ones, and they are deliuered of their trauaile and paine: 4 Yet their young ones grow vp, and waxe fatte through good feeding with corne: They go foorth, and returne not againe vnto them. 5 Who letteth the wylde asse to go free? or who looseth the bondes of the wylde mule? 6 Euen I which haue geuen the wyldernesse to be their house, and the vntilled land to be their dwelling. 7 They force not for the multitude of people in the citie, neither regarde the crying of the driuer: 8 But seeke their pasture about the mountaines, and folowe the greene grasse. 9 Wyll the vnicorne do thee seruice, or abide still by thy cribbe? 10 Canst thou binde the yoke about the vnicorne in the forowe, to make him plowe after thee in the valleyes?

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Wilt thou believe him that he will bring home thy seed?.... Draw in the cart, and bring home the ripe sheaves of corn, as the tame ox does? no; thou knowest him too well to believe he will bring it home in safety;

and gather [it into] thy barn; to be trodden out, which used to be done by oxen in those times: if therefore Job could not manage such unruly creatures as the wild ass and the wild ox, and make them serviceable to him, how unfit must he be to govern the world, or to direct in the affairs of Providence?

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Wilt thou believe him? - That is, wilt thou trust him with the productions of the field? The idea is, that he was an untamed and unsubdued animal. He could not be governed, like the camel or the ox. If the sheaves of the harvest were laid on him, there would be no certainty that he would convey them where the farmer wished them.

And gather it into thy barn? - Or, rather, “to thy threshing-floor,” for so the word used here (גרן gôren) means. It was not common to gather a harvest into a barn, but it was usually collected on a hard-trod place and there threshed and winnowed. For the use of the word, see Ruth 3:2; Judges 6:37; Numbers 18:30; Isaiah 21:10.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 39:12. That he will bring home thy seed — Thou canst make no domestic nor agricultural use of him.
