⁵ Lo, wild asses in a wilderness, They have gone out about their work, Seeking early for prey, A mixture for himself -- food for young ones.

²³ Man goeth forth to his work, And to his service -- till evening.

⁵ Who hath sent forth the wild ass free? Yea, the bands of the wild ass who opened?

⁶ Whose house I have made the wilderness, And his dwellings the barren land,

⁷ He doth laugh at the multitude of a city, The cries of an exactor he heareth not.

¹² And day having come, certain of the Jews having made a concourse, did anathematize themselves, saying neither to eat nor to drink till they may kill Paul;

³ Her heads in her midst `are' roaring lions, Her judges `are' evening wolves, They have not gnawn the bone in the morning.

¹ Wo `to' those devising iniquity, And working evil on their beds, In the light of the morning they do it, For their hand is -- to God.

⁹ For they -- they have gone up `to' Asshur, A wild ass alone by himself `is' Ephraim, They have hired lovers!

⁶ For they have drawn near, As an oven `is' their heart, In their lying in wait all the night sleep doth their baker, Morning! he is burning as a flaming fire.

²⁴ A wild ass accustomed to a wilderness, In the desire of her soul she hath swallowed up wind, Her meeting -- who doth turn her back? None seeking her do weary themselves, In her month they find her.

¹⁶ For they sleep not if they do not evil, And their sleep hath been taken violently away, If they cause not `some' to stumble.

¹⁴ At the light doth the murderer rise, He doth slay the poor and needy, And in the night he is as a thief.

⁶ At peace are the tents of spoilers, And those provoking God have confidence, He into whose hand God hath brought.

⁵ Whose harvest the hungry doth eat, And even from the thorns taketh it, And the designing swallowed their wealth.

⁴⁰ and by thy sword dost thou live, and thy brother dost thou serve; and it hath come to pass when thou rulest, that thou hast broken his yoke from off thy neck.'

¹² and he is a wild-ass man, his hand against every one, and every one's hand against him -- and before the face of all his brethren he dwelleth.'
