Job 39:11

The Wild Ox

¹⁰ Can you bind the wild ox to a furrow with its rope, will it till the valleys, following after you? ¹¹ Will you rely on it because its strength is great? Will you commit your labor to it? ¹² Can you count on it to bring in your grain, and gather the grain to your threshing floor?
