9  “Is ^mthe wild ox willing to serve you?

Will he spend the night at your ⁿmanger?

22  ^gGod brings them out of Egypt

and is for them like ^hthe horns of the wild ox.

17  ^yA firstborn bull¹—he has majesty,

and his horns are the horns of a ^zwild ox;

with them ^ahe shall gore the peoples,

all of them, to the ends of the earth;

^bthey are the ten thousands of Ephraim,

and they are the thousands of Manasseh.”

10  But you have exalted my ^thorn like that of ^uthe wild ox;

you have ^vpoured over me¹ fresh oil.

21  Save me from ^fthe mouth of the lion!

You have rescued¹ me from the horns of ^gthe wild oxen!

3  The ox ^jknows its owner,

and the donkey its master’s crib,

but Israel does ^jnot know,

my people do not understand.”
