Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,

Read it in 5 translations

Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,

For she leaves her eggs on the ground and lets them warm in the sand.

For she leaves her eggs on the earth, warms them in the dust,

For she leaveth her eggs on the earth, And warmeth them in the dust,

For she leaveth on the earth her eggs, And on the dust she doth warm them,

11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength [is] great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?

12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather [it into] thy barn?

13 [Gavest thou] the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?

14 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,

15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.

16 She is hardened against her young ones, as though [they were] not hers: her labour is in vain without fear;

17 Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
