“God brought them out of Egypt;
They have the strength of a wild ox.


“His majesty is like a firstborn young bull,
And his horns like the horns of the wild ox;
With them he will gore the peoples,
All of them together, to the ends of the earth.
And those are the ten thousands of Ephraim,
And those are the thousands of Manasseh.”


“Will the wild ox be willing to serve you,
Or remain beside your manger at night?


He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,
And Sirion (Mount Hermon) like a young, wild ox.


Wild oxen will also fall with them
And the young bulls with the strong bulls;
And their land will be soaked with blood,
And their dust made greasy with fat.



“Will the wild ox be willing to serve you,
Or remain beside your manger at night?


“The ox [instinctively] knows its owner,
And the donkey its master’s feeding trough,
But Israel does not know [Me as Lord],
My people do not understand.”


Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean,
But much revenue [because of good crops] comes by the strength of the ox.


Will the wild ox be willing to serve you, or remain beside your manger? Can you bind the wild ox with a harness to the plow in the furrow? Or will he harrow the furrows for you?


“Will you have faith and depend on him to return your grain
And gather it from your threshing floor?


Will the wild ox be willing to serve you, or remain beside your manger? Can you bind the wild ox with a harness to the plow in the furrow? Or will he harrow the furrows for you? Will you trust him because his strength is great, or to him will you leave your labor? read more.
Will you depend upon him to bring home your seed and gather the grain of your threshing floor? [Who, Job, was the author of this strange variance in the disposition of animals so alike in appearance? Was it you?]
