13. How fast the wings of an ostrich beat!But no ostrich can fly like a stork.
14. The ostrich leaves her eggs on the groundfor the heat in the soil to warm them.
15. She is unaware that a foot may crush themor a wild animal break them.
16. She acts as if the eggs were not hers,and is unconcerned that her efforts were wasted.
17. It was I who made her foolishand did not give her wisdom.
18. But when she begins to run,she can laugh at any horse and rider.
