Until an arrow pierces through his liver;
As a bird hastens to the snare,
So he does not know that it will cost him his life.

And makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?’

And a donkey its master’s manger,
But Israel does not know,
My people do not understand.”

Knows her seasons;
And the turtledove and the swift and the thrush
Observe the time of their migration;
But My people do not know
