The Morning Psalm

Job 39:16

King James Version

She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear;
Job 39:16, KJV

Job 39:16 in context

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

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

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

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

18What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
