Job 39:6

The Wild Donkey

⁵ “Who sent out the wild donkey free?
And who loosed the bonds of the swift donkey,
⁶ To whom I gave the wilderness for a home
And the salt land for his dwelling place?
⁷ “He scorns the tumult of the city,
The shoutings of the driver he does not hear.

As bread for their children in the desert.

In her month they will find her.

Like a wild donkey all alone;
