39:15 She forgets that a foot might crush them, or that a wild animal might trample them.

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per frasa)

JFB: Job 39:14-15

Yet (unlike the stork) she "leaveth," &c. Hence called by the Arabs "the impious bird." However, the fact is, she lays her eggs with great care and hatches them, as other birds do; but in hot countries the eggs do not need so constant incubation; she therefore often leaves them and sometimes forgets the place on her return. Moreover, the outer eggs, intended for food, she feeds to her young; these eggs, lying separate in the sand, exposed to the sun, gave rise to the idea of her altogether leaving them. God describes her as she seems to man; implying, though she may seem foolishly to neglect her young, yet really she is guided by a sure instinct from God, as much as animals of instincts widely different.

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Job 39:15 - The feet

The feet to wit, of wild beasts as it follows passing that way.

Gill: Job 39:15 - And forgetteth that the foot may crush them // or that the wild beast may break them

And forgetteth that the foot may crush them,.... The foot of the traveller, they being laid in the ground, where he may walk, or on the sand of the seashore, where he may tread and trample upon them unawares, and crush them to pieces; to prevent which this creature has no foresight;

or that the wild beast may break them; supposing they may be, though not where men walk, yet where wild beasts frequent, they may be as easily broken by the one as the other; against which it guards not, having no instinct in nature, as some creatures have, to direct to the preservation of them.
