SCRIPTURE

"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." — Job 24:5 (ASV)

Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work;

Like wild asses, their work consists in going forth to do mischief.

Rising early for a prey: the wilderness yields food for them and for their children.

For there are some so hard that they would skin a flint, and out of the wilderness would manage to get food. Yet such hard oppressors of others sometimes seem to prosper for awhile.
