John Trapp on Job 38:41

Verſe 41 Who provideth for the Raven his food?] Though the Raven be a moſt vile creature, and hated almoſt of all: in ſome places there is a reward appointed for thoſe that ſhall kill them up. Though an unclean creature, and therefore abominable, Lev. 11.13, 15. Though unmerciful to her own, and pitileſſe to other birds, though an inauſpicate creature, a ſign both of mans puniſhment, and Gods curſe, Iſai. 34 11. Though he cryeth with a hoarſe and harſh voice (whence alſo he hath his name in the Original) and ſo unfit to move pity; yet God provideth food for him: What then will he do for his faithful ſervants, Matth. 6.26? Where our Saviour fetcheth not an example from the Iſraelites miraculouſly fed in the wilderneſſe, or Elias in the Deſert, but from Fowles of the Aire; and among them,Corvus incuba 20 diebus & pullos nido expellit. Plin. Ariſ[illegible: 1 letter] Ariſt. hiſt. Animal. l 9. c. 31. not from Eagles, Hawks, Nightingales, but Ravens, &c. Conſider the Ravens, Luke 12.24.

When his young ones cry to God] Though by implication only they cry, and not directly, being forſaken by the old ones, and left bare, they are fed by God with flies and wormes bred in the neſt out of their excrements; till able to flye, and leave the neſt, they wander for lack of meat to take it where-ever they can meet with it.
