Job 39:14-16
New English Translation
14 For she leaves[a] her eggs on the ground,
and lets them be warmed on the soil.
15 She forgets that a foot might crush them,
or that a wild animal[b] might trample them.
16 She is harsh[c] with her young,
as if they were not hers;
she is unconcerned about the uselessness of her labor.
