Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?
Wild ass. Two different Hebrew words are here used for the same animal, the donkey of the woods х pere'
(H6501)], and the wild donkey х `aarowd (H6171)]. (Note, Job 6:5; Job 11:12; Job 24:5; Jeremiah 2:24.)
Loosed the bands - given its liberty to. Man can rob animals of freedom, but not, as God, give freedom, combined with subordination to fixed laws.
