And he will be a wild-ass of a man, his hand against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell before the face of all his brethren.

Doth the wild ass bray by the grass? loweth an ox over his fodder?

Yet a senseless man will make bold, though man be born like the foal of a wild ass.

Who hath sent out the wild ass free? and who hath loosed the bands of the onager,

a wild ass, used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind in her desire! In her ardour, who shall turn her away? All they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.

For they are gone up to Assyria as a wild ass alone by himself: Ephraim hath hired lovers.
