Job chapter 39 continues God's response to Job from the whirlwind, where God questions Job about various aspects of the natural world to illustrate His sovereign power and wisdom.
Throughout the chapter, God's rhetorical questions serve to highlight the complexity and wonder of His creation, underscoring the theme that human understanding is limited compared to divine wisdom and power. This chapter, like the others in God's speech, is meant to humble Job and show him the vastness of God's dominion over all creatures and natural phenomena, suggesting that human suffering and the mysteries of life are part of a larger, divine plan that humans cannot fully grasp.

- Mountain Goats and Deer: God asks if Job knows the time when the mountain goats give birth and if he can count the months they fulfill.
- Wild Donkeys: God describes the wild donkeys, free in the wilderness, scorning the tumult of the city, and how they roam the range for pasture.
- Wild Ox: God challenges Job, asking if he can bind the wild ox in the furrow or make it work in the field.
- Ostrich: God contrasts the ostrich's lack of wisdom in caring for its eggs with its remarkable ability to run swiftly, questioning if Job would leave such a creature to its fate.
- Horses: God vividly describes the majesty and might of the horse in battle, how it laughs at fear and charges into the fray.
- Hawks and Eagles: God speaks of the hawk flying by God's wisdom, and of the eagle, which soars high and nests in high places, finding food for its young.
