Bible verse
I made the wilderness his home and the salt flats his dwelling.
Job 39:6 · BSB
The verses around it, from Job 39.
2 Can you count the months they are pregnant? Do you know the time they give birth?
3 They crouch down and bring forth their young; they deliver their newborn.
4 Their young ones thrive and grow up in the open field; they leave and do not return.
5 Who set the wild donkey free? Who released the swift donkey from the harness?
6 I made the wilderness his home and the salt flats his dwelling.
7 He scorns the tumult of the city and never hears the shouts of a driver.
8 He roams the mountains for pasture, searching for any green thing.
9 Will the wild ox consent to serve you? Will he stay by your manger at night?
10 Can you hold him to the furrow with a harness? Will he plow the valleys behind you?
