¹He scorneth; the Hebrew is, He laugheth at, or slighteth, &c. The Lord speaks of this wild Ass after the manner of men, who laugh at those things which they contemn, despise or scorn, as much below them or contrary to them: The word is rendered by laughing (Psal. 2.4. Job 5.22.) It is said also of the good woman (Prov. 31.25.) She shall rejoice in time to come; which others render thus, She laughed at time to come; that is, she having so well and wisely provided for time to come, is not at all burdened ⟨p. 339⟩with cares about it. There may be a double reason, why this wild Ass scorns, or laughs at the multitude of the City.
