His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.

and there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:

If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?

Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?

For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass’s colt.

But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.

Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?

They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.

Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.

Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?

So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
