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

He scorneth the multitude of the city,.... Choosing rather to be alone in the wilderness and free than to be among a multitude of men in a city, and be a slave as the tame ass; or it despises and defies a multitude of men, that may come out of cities to take it, Leo Africanus says r it yields to none for swiftness but Barbary horses: according to Xenophon s, it exceeds the horse in swiftness; and when pursued by horsemen, it will outrun them, and stand still and rest till they come near it, and then start again; so that there is no taking it, unless many are employed. Aristotle t says it excels in swiftness; and, according to Bochart u, it has its name in Hebrew from the Chaldee word פדא, "to run". Or it may be rendered, "the noise of the city", so Cocceius; the stir and bustle in it, through a multiplicity of men in business;

neither regardeth he the crying of the driver; or "hears" w: he neither feels his blows, nor hears his words; urging him to move faster and make quicker dispatch, as the tame ass does; he being neither ridden nor driven, nor drawing in a cart or plough.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He scorneth the multitude of the city - That is, he sets all this at defiance; he is not intimidated by it. He finds his home far away from the city in the wild freedom of the wilderness.

Neither regardeth he the crying of the driver - Margin, “exacter.” The Hebrew word properly means a collector of taxes or revenue, and hence, an oppressor, and a driver of cattle. The allusion here is to a driver, and the meaning is, that he is not subject to restraint, but enjoys the most unlimited freedom.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Job 39:7. He scorneth the multitude — He is so swift that he cannot be run or hunted down. See the description in Job 39:5.
