Commentary on Job 39:18
"What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider." When the ostrich runs, it "scorns" (sachaq, שָׂחַק, "laughs at/mocks") even horses and riders—it's the fastest bird on land. Though lacking wisdom, God gave it speed and strength. This demonstrates that God compensates for certain deficiencies with other extraordinary abilities. No creature has everything, but each has what it needs for its purpose. This encourages acceptance of one's unique combination of strengths and weaknesses.
