Man Shamed by the Lower Animals
Isaiah 1:3
The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master's crib: but Israel does not know, my people does not consider.


A fine pass man is come to when he is shamed even in knowledge and understanding by these silly animals; and is not only sent to school to them (Proverbs 6:6, 7), but set in a form below them (Jeremiah 8:7); "taught more than the beasts of the earth" (Job 35:11), and yet knowing less.

( M. Henry.)
