Job 6:5 Douay-Rheims

Will the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or will the ox low when he standeth before a full manger?

Rashi

1040–1105 Jewish

Does a wild donkey bray That is to say, do I cry out for nothing? Even a stupid animal does not bray when it has food, neither does an ox low unless it does not have grain fodder. With a wild donkey, the expression used is נַהַק, braying, and with an ox, the expression of געיה, lowing.

Hebrew and Aramaic words are the commentator’s citations of the sacred text; the English translation that follows each is the translator’s.
