Her young ones it hath hardened without her, In vain [is] her labour without fear.
17
For God hath caused her to forget wisdom, And He hath not given a portion To her in understanding:
18
At the time on high she lifteth herself up, She laugheth at the horse and at his rider.
19
Dost thou give to the horse might? Dost thou clothe his neck [with] a mane?
20

22
