²² God, who brings them out of Egypt,
    is like the horns of a wild ox for them.^(A)

¹⁷ A firstborn^[a] bull—majesty is his!
    His horns are the horns of a wild ox;
with them he gores the peoples
    all together to the ends of the earth;
such are the myriads of Ephraim,
    such the thousands of Manasseh.”^(A)

³ The ox knows its owner
    and the donkey its master’s crib,
but Israel does not know;
    my people do not understand.^(A)

²¹     Save me from the mouth of the lion!
