The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: {but} Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the LORD.

Shall not they teach thee, {and} tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?

Wherefore are we counted as beasts, {and} reputed vile in your sight?
