Job 39:7

39:7 It scorns the tumult in the town;

it does not hear the shouts of a driver. ¹ 

Job 39:18

39:18 But as soon as she springs up, ² 

she laughs at the horse and its rider.

[39:7]  ¹ sn The animal is happier in open countryside than in a busy town, and on its own rather than being driven by a herdsman.

[39:18]  ² tn The colon poses a slight problem here. The literal meaning of the Hebrew verb translated “springs up” (i.e., “lifts herself on high”) might suggest flight. But some of the proposals involve a reading about readying herself to run.
