the wild donkeys quench their thirst.

Like wild donkeys in the desert,
the poor go out to their task of foraging for food;
the wilderness provides nourishment for their children.

a wild donkey at home in the wilderness.
She sniffs the wind in the heat of her desire.
Who can control her passion?
All who look for her will not become tired;
they will find her in her mating season.

Does a wild donkey bray over fresh grass
or an ox low over its fodder?

Who set the wild donkey free?
Who released the swift donkey from its harness?

For the palace will be forsaken,
the busy city abandoned.
The hill and the watchtower will become
barren places forever,
the joy of wild donkeys,
and a pasture for flocks,

Wild donkeys stand on the barren heights
panting for air like jackals.
Their eyes fail
because there are no green plants.

When Ephraim saw his sickness
and Judah his wound,
Ephraim went to Assyria
and sent a delegation to the great king.
But he cannot cure you or heal your wound.

they call to Egypt, and they go to Assyria.


For they have gone up to Assyria
like a wild donkey going off on its own.
Ephraim has paid for love.
