5. “Who has let the wild donkey go free?Who has loosed the bonds of the swift donkey,
6. to whom I have given the arid plain for his homeand the salt land for his dwelling place?
7. He scorns the tumult of the city;he hears not the shouts of the driver.
8. He ranges the mountains as his pasture,and he searches after every green thing.
9. “Is the wild ox willing to serve you?Will he spend the night at your manger?
10. Can you bind him in the furrow with ropes,or will he harrow the valleys after you?
11. Will you depend on him because his strength is great,and will you leave to him your labor?
12. Do you have faith in him that he will return your grainand gather it to your threshing floor?
13. “The wings of the ostrich wave proudly,but are they the pinions and plumage of love?
14. For she leaves her eggs to the earthand lets them be warmed on the ground,
