Holy Scripture

Job 39:4

A church father on this verse
“Their young ones are weaned, and go to their pasture; they go forth, and return not unto them. 49. Holy Scripture terms 'pasture' that food of eternal verdure, where our refreshment will no longer waste away with any dryness of failing. Of which pasture it is said by the Psalmist, The Lord ruleth me, and I shall want…”

3And hast reared their young without fear; And wilt thou loosen their pangs?
