Does the wild ass bray when he has grass? Or does the ox low over his fodder?

For foolish man would be wise, and man is born a wild ass's colt.

Who has sent out the wild ass free? Or who has loosed the bands of the wild ass,

a wild ass used to the wilderness; in the desire of her passion she snuffs at the wind; in her time who can turn her away? All those who seek her will not tire themselves; in her month they will find her.

For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself. Ephraim has hired lovers.
