¹⁶ An ostrich leaves her little babies.
    She treats them as if they were not her own.
    If her babies die, she does not care that all her work was for nothing.
¹⁷ That’s because I did not give wisdom to the ostrich.
    She is foolish, and I made her that way.
¹⁸ But when the ostrich gets up to run, she laughs at the horse and its rider,
    because she can run faster than any horse.
