⁵ Behold, like wild donkeys in the desert
    the poor^{[a] (A)}go out to their toil, ^(B)seeking game;
    the wasteland yields food for their children.

^23 (A)Man goes out to his work
    and to his labor until the evening.

2 ^(A)Woe to those who devise wickedness
    and work evil ^(B)on their beds!
When the morning dawns, they perform it,
    because it is in the power of their hand.

⁹ For ^(A)they have gone up to Assyria,
    ^(B)a wild donkey wandering alone;
    Ephraim has hired lovers.

⁶ For with hearts like an oven ^(A)they approach their intrigue;
    all night their anger smolders;
    in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
