For in vain is the net spread in the sight of any bird:

who teaches us more than the animals of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky?'

Until an arrow strikes through his liver, as a bird hurries to the snare, and doesn't know that it will cost his life.

The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master's crib; but Israel doesn't know, my people don't consider."

Yes, the stork in the sky knows her appointed times; and the turtledove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people don't know Yahweh's law.
