Psalms 104:11

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

The confused city is broken down. Every house is shut up, that no man may come in.

The city is left in desolation, and the gate is struck with destruction.

For you have made a city into a heap, a fortified city into a ruin, a palace of strangers to be no city. It will never be built.

For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation deserted and forsaken, like the wilderness. The calf will feed there, and there he will lie down, and consume its branches.

Arise! Let’s go up by night, and let’s destroy her palaces.”

Are there any among the vanities of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the sky give showers? Aren’t you he, Yahweh our God? Therefore we will wait for you; for you have made all these things.

Who can count the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the containers of the sky,

Can you hold the wild ox in the furrow with his harness? Or will he till the valleys after you?

He lays the beams of his rooms in the waters. He makes the clouds his chariot. He walks on the wings of the wind.

He waters the mountains from his rooms. The earth is filled with the fruit of your works.

For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.

The earth is full of your loving kindness, Yahweh. Teach me your statutes.

I will abundantly bless her provision. I will satisfy her poor with bread.

You open your hand, and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

In my ears, Yahweh of Armies says: “Surely many houses will be desolate, even great and beautiful, unoccupied.

Then the lambs will graze as in their pasture, and strangers will eat the ruins of the rich.

Then I said, “Lord, how long?” He answered, “Until cities are waste without inhabitant, houses without man, the land becomes utterly waste,

There will be brooks and streams of water on every lofty mountain and on every high hill in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

For the palace will be forsaken. The populous city will be deserted. The hill and the watchtower will be for dens forever, a delight for wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks,

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.

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

The peaceful folds are brought to silence because of the fierce anger of Yahweh.

I will make Rabbah a stable for camels, and the children of Ammon a resting place for flocks. Then you will know that I am Yahweh.”

He was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the animals’, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the sky; until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that he sets up over it whomever he will.

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

It is he who builds his rooms in the heavens, and has founded his vault on the earth; he who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the surface of the earth; Yahweh is his name.

a day of the trumpet and alarm, against the fortified cities, and against the high battlements.

Ask of Yahweh rain in the spring time, Yahweh who makes storm clouds, and he gives rain showers to everyone for the plants in the field.

“But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then know that its desolation is at hand.

They will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations. Jerusalem will be trampled down by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
