Who loosens the bonds of the wild donkey to whom I've given the Arabah for a home; the salt plain for his dwelling place? He despises city noises; he ignores the shouts of the driver. He ranges the mountains that are his pasture to search for anything green. Is the wild ox willing to serve you? Will he sleep at night near your feeding trough? Can you bind the ox to plow a furrow with a rope? Will he harrow after you in the valley? Will you trust him because of his great strength and entrust your labor to him?

Does the eagle soar high at your command and build its nest on the highest crags? He dwells on the crags where he makes his home, there on the rocky crag is his stronghold. From there he searches for prey, and his eyes recognize it from a distance. His young ones feast on blood; he'll be found wherever there's a carcass."
