Ambrose of Milan, on Isa 1:3

“The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master’s crib: but Israel hath not known me, and my people hath not understood.”

“What is more evident than that it is said of the passion of the Lord: "The ox knows his owner and the donkey his master's crib." Let us, then, know the Lord's crib where we are nourished, fed and refreshed.”
