# Connecting Statement:

Yahweh continues to challenge Job.

# The wings of the ostrich ... pinions and plumage of love?
|
|
|
|
Yahweh uses this question to emphasize that Job cannot explain why ostriches behave the way they do. AT: "You do not know whether the pinions and plumage of the ostrich represent love when they wave their wings proudly." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
