The Morning Psalm

Job 39:17

King James Version

Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
Job 39:17, KJV

Job 39:17 in context

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.

19Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?
