**37:1** And the Lord showed me favour in all my works both in the field and at home.

**37:2** When I saw that I could run with the hind, then I caught it, and prepared meat for my father.

**37:3** I seized upon the roes in the chase, and all that was in the plains I outran.

**37:4** A wild mare I outran, and I caught it and tamed it; and I slew a lion, and plucked a kid out of its mouth.

**37:5** I took a bear by its paw, and rolled it over a cliff; and if any beast turned upon me, I rent it like a dog.

**37:6** I encountered the wild boar, and overtaking it in the chase, I tore it.

**37:7** A leopard in Hebron leaped upon the dog, and I caught it by the tail, and flung it from me, and it was dashed to pieces in the coasts of Gaza.

**37:8** A wild ox feeding in the field I seized by the horns; and whirling it round and stunning it, I cast it from me, and slew it.
