“Who has let the wild donkey go free?
    Who has (A)loosed the bonds of the swift donkey,
to whom I have given (B)the arid plain for his home
    and (C)the salt land for his dwelling place?
He scorns the tumult of the city;
    he hears not the shouts of the driver.
He ranges the mountains as his pasture,
    and he searches after every green thing.

“Who set the wild donkey free?
Who loosed the bonds of the [a]onager,
(A)Whose home I have made the wilderness,
And the [b]barren land his dwelling?
He scorns the tumult of the city;
He does not heed the shouts of the driver.
The range of the mountains is his pasture,
And he searches after (B)every green thing.
