⁷ But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; And the birds of the heavens, and they shall tell thee:

²⁹ Have ye not asked wayfaring men? And do ye not know their evidences,

³⁰ That the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity? That they are led forth to the day of wrath?

⁶ Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise:

³ The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib; `but' Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

⁷ Yea, the stork in the heavens knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle-dove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the law of Jehovah.
