'Donkeys' in the Bible

“When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs,A train of donkeys, a train of camels,Let him pay close attention, very close attention.”

The oracle concerning the beasts of the Negev.Through a land of distress and anguish,From where come lioness and lion, viper and flying serpent,They carry their riches on the backs of young donkeysAnd their treasures on camels’ humps,To a people who cannot profit them;

Also the oxen and the donkeys which work the ground will eat salted fodder, which has been winnowed with shovel and fork.

Because the palace has been abandoned, the populated city forsaken.Hill and watch-tower have become caves forever,A delight for wild donkeys, a pasture for flocks;
