Job 39:17
For God has deprived her of wisdom; He has not endowed her with understanding.
BSB
ASV
Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, Neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
KJV
Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath He given her understanding. 26. Although to deprive is one thing, and not to give is another, yet His first expression 'deprived,' He repealed by subjoining, 'hath not given.' As if He were saying, My expression 'deprived' means not that He has unjustly taken away wisdom, but that He has justly not given it. Whence the Lord is described as having hardened the heart of Pharaoh, not because He Himself inflicted hardness, but because, according as his deserts demanded, He softened it not by any sensibility of heaven-infused fear.
Because God hath deprived her of wisdom ... - That is, he has not imparted to her the wisdom which has been conferred on other animals. The meaning is, that all this remarkable arrangement, which distinguished the ostrich so much from other animals was to be traced to God. It was not the result of chance; it could not be pretended that it was by a human arrangement, but it was the result of divine appointment.
