What then? Will the wild donkey bray for nothing, if he is not seeking food? Or again, will the ox low at the manger, when he has [his] fodder?

But man vainly buoys himself up with words, and a mortal born of woman is like a donkey in the desert.

He shall be a wild man, his hands against all, and the hands of all against him, and he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.
