Tahukah engkau waktu kambing-kambing gunung di bukit batu melahirkan? Dapatkah engkau menjaga saat rusa-rusa betina menggeliat kesakitan karena hendak beranak?
Kol Dodi Dofek

Or can you mark when the hinds do calve? Can you number the months that they fulfill? Or do you know the time when they bring forth?"
