A wild donkey does not bray when it has grass to eat, and an ox is quiet when it has feed.
Then she said, “And, yes, we have straw for your camels and a place for you to spend the night.”
“Who let the wild donkey go free? Who untied its ropes?
It roams the hills looking for pasture, looking for anything green to eat.
Tasteless food is not eaten without salt, and there is no flavor in the white of an egg.
You make the grass for cattle and vegetables for the people. You make food grow from the earth.
As a deer thirsts for streams of water, so I thirst for you, God.
Wild donkeys stand on the bare hills and sniff the wind like wild dogs. But their eyes go blind, because there is no food.”
