38:39 “Do you hunt prey for the lioness,
and satisfy the appetite 1 of the lions,
38:40 when they crouch in their dens,
when they wait in ambush in the thicket?
38:41 Who prepares prey for the raven,
when its young cry out to God
and wander about 2 for lack of food?
1 tn Heb “fill up the life of.”
2 tn The verse is difficult, making some suspect that a line has dropped out. The little birds in the nest hardly go wandering about looking for food. Dhorme suggest “and stagger for lack of food.”
