⁵ Behold, as wild asses in the desert They go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food; The wilderness `yieldeth' them bread for their children.

¹⁴ The murderer riseth with the light; He killeth the poor and needy; And in the night he is as a thief.

¹⁶ In the dark they dig through houses: They shut themselves up in the day-time; They know not the light.

³⁸ (of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves, and the holes of the earth.
