And he shall be as a wild ass among men; his hand'shall be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell over against all his brethren.

Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?

For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.

Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?

A wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind at her pleasure; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.

For they are gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
