| 5 | Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children. | Indeed, like wild donkeys in the desert, the poor go to work foraging for food; the wasteland is food for their children. | Behold, as wild asses in the desert They go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food; The wilderness yieldeth them bread for their children. |
