(this is a scan from the exact, authentic, original 1611 'HE' King James Bible)
2 Canst thou number the moneths that they fulfill? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
3 They bowe themselues, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrowes.
5 Who hath sent out the wild asse free? or who hath looosed the bands of the wild asse?
6 Whose house I haue made the wildernesse, and the barren lande his dwellings.
7 He scorneth the multitude of the citie, neither regardeth he the crying of the driuer.
8 The range of the mountaines is his pasture, and hee searcheth after euery greene thing.
9 Will the Unicorne be willing to serue thee? or abide by thy cribbe?
11 Wilt thou trust him because his strength is great? or wilt thou leaue thy labour to him?
12 Wilt thou beleeue him that hee will bring home thy seed? and gather it into thy barne?
13 Gauest thou the goodly wings vnto the peacocks, or wings and feathers vnto the Ostrich?
14 Which leaueth her egges in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,
15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wilde beast may breake them.
17 Because God hath depriued her of wisedome, neither hath he imparted to her vnderstanding.
18 What time she lifteth vp her selfe on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
19 Hast thou giuen the horse strength? hast thou clothed his necke with thunder?
20 Canst thou make him afraid as a grashopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
21 He paweth in the valley, and reioyceth in his strength: hee goeth on to meet the armed men.
22 He mocketh at feare, and is not affrighted: neither turneth he backe from the sword.
23 The quiuer ratleth against him, the glittering speare and the shield.
26 Doeth the hawke flie by thy wisedome, and stretch her wings toward the South?
27 Doeth the Eagle mount vp at thy commaund? and make her nest on high?
28 She dwelleth and abideth on the rocke, vpon the cragge of the rocke, and the strong place.
29 From thence she seeketh the pray, and her eyes behold a farre off.
30 Her yong ones also suck vp blood: and where the slaine are, there is he.

Michael Webb's Job Chapter 39 comment on 1/14/2012, 7:07am...
Verses 19-25 have topical resonance, having read through the chapter today (from the later NIV) in the wake of the new film 'War Horse'. Would have chimed well with devout cavalry soldiers in WWI who learned their scripture from the KJV. A great-uncle of mine was a Farrier Sergeant in the artillery in same war when horses were employed for gun towing. I still have his 'dog tag' with C.E. initials which would have ensured he was buried with appropriate rites if found dead - fortunately he survived the war.

Unicorn... might have been a name for a animal thats extinct now.
Science is knowledge and truths gained through observation and replecation. So how do you know there has never been a horse with one horn?
Alot of scientist still beleive in evolution without any evidence or proof and claim it to be scientific fact.
Derek's Job Chapter 39 comment on 9/27/2010, 1:48am...
unicorn in this verse is a hebrew word for wild bull. it is Hebrew 7214 in the Greek/Hebrew dictionary
Lynette's Job Chapter 39 comment on 9/25/2010, 11:45pm...
bible.net
"probably the great aurochs or wild bulls which are now extinct. The exact meaning is not known."
JayVee's Job Chapter 39 comment about verse 9 on 3/23/2010, 11:21am...
hehe, Unicorns! Could it possibly just mean "a white horse with a horn", meaning the bible is scientifically incorrect? Surely not! :)
