a wild donkey used to the wilderness, in her heat sniffing the wind! Who can restrain her lust? None who seek her need weary themselves; in her month they will find her.
The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights; they pant for air like jackals; their eyes fail because there is no vegetation.
I will return again to my place, until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face, and in their distress earnestly seek me.
who say to a tree, ‘You are my father,’ and to a stone, ‘You gave me birth.’ For they have turned their back to me, and not their face. But in the time of their trouble they say, ‘Arise and save us!’
“Who has let the wild donkey go free? Who has loosed the bonds of the swift donkey, to whom I have given the arid plain for his home and the salt land for his dwelling place? He scorns the tumult of the city; he hears not the shouts of the driver. He ranges the mountains as his pasture, and he searches after every green thing.
But a stupid man will get understanding when a wild donkey's colt is born a man!
