Job 38:39-41

God's Power in the Animal Kingdom

v. 39. Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion, or the lioness, or fill the appetite of the young lions, appeasing their constant craving for food,

v. 40. when they crouch in their dens, in the thickets where they have their lairs, and abide in the covert to lie in wait, always on the lookout for possible prey?

v. 41. Who provideth for the raven his food when his young ones cry unto God? They wander for lack of meat, their voracious appetite never being satisfied. Cf Psalms 147:9. God performs as a matter of course what all men could never hope and undertake to do, this providential care placing Him far above all creatures.
