John Gill Commentary Job 39:4

"Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field; They go forth, and return not again." — Job 39:4 (ASV)

Their young ones are in good liking
Plump, fat, and sleek, as fawns are:

they grow up with corn ;
by which they grow, or without in the field, as the word also signifies; and their growth and increase is very quick, as Aristotle observes ^F12 ;

they go forth, and return not unto them :
they go forth into the fields, and shift and provide for themselves, and trouble their dams no more; and return not to them, nor are they known by them.
