Job 39:2

The wild donkeys stand on the bare heights. They pant for air like jackals. Their eyes fail, because there is no vegetation.

For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for himself.

whose home I have made the wilderness, and the salt land his dwelling place?

An empty-headed man becomes wise when a man is born as a wild donkey’s colt.

Behold, as wild donkeys in the desert, they go out to their work, seeking diligently for food. The wilderness yields them bread for their children.

“Who has set the wild donkey free? Or who has loosened the bonds of the swift donkey,

a wild donkey used to the wilderness, that sniffs the wind in her craving. When she is in heat, who can turn her away? All those who seek her will not weary themselves. In her month, they will find her.

who tell wood, ‘You are my father,’ and a stone, ‘You have given birth to me,’ for they have turned their back to me, and not their face; but in the time of their trouble they will say, ‘Arise, and save us!’

I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly.”
