Till an arrow strikes through his liver; as a bird hastens to the snare, and knows not that it is for his life.

Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the fowls of heaven?

The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master's crib: but Israel does not know, my people do not consider.

Yea, the stork in the heavens knows her appointed times; and the turtledove and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the law of the LORD.
