Jeremiah 2:24
New King James Version
24 A wild donkey used to the wilderness,
That sniffs at the wind in her desire;
In her time of mating, who can turn her away?
All those who seek her will not weary themselves;
In her month they will find her.
Jeremiah 14:6
New King James Version
6 And (A)the wild donkeys stood in the desolate heights;
They sniffed at the wind like jackals;
Their eyes failed because there was no grass.”
Hosea 5:15

15 I will return again to My place
Till they [a]acknowledge their offense.
Then they will seek My face;
In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.”

Jeremiah 2:27
New King James Version
27 Saying to a tree, ‘You are my father,’
And to a (A)stone, ‘You gave birth to me.’
For they have turned their back to Me, and not their face.
But in the time of their (B)trouble
They will say, ‘Arise and save us.’
Job 39:5-8
New King James Version
5 “Who set the wild donkey free?
Who loosed the bonds of the [a]onager,
6 (A)Whose home I have made the wilderness,
And the [b]barren land his dwelling?
7 He scorns the tumult of the city;
He does not heed the shouts of the driver.
8 The range of the mountains is his pasture,
And he searches after (B)every green thing.
Job 11:12
New King James Version
12 For an (A)empty-headed man will be wise,
When a wild donkey’s colt is born a man.
