The range of the mountains is his pasture.
Some interpret it choice things, that is, the best things, or those things that are most savoury to the palate of that beast, those he picks up for his food. Mr. Broughton translates, Chosen places in the mountains are for his pasture: As if it had been said, Though he be wild, yet he is prudent, he takes not what comes next, but he chooseth what is best for him; for as it followeth, He searcheth after every green thing.

Mr. Broughton translates, Chosen places in the mountains are for his pasture: As if it had been said, Though he be wilde, yet he is prudent, he takes not what comes next, but he chuseth what is best for him; for as it followeth, He searcheth after every green thing.
The word notes a very diligent search, after every green thing. Green things are his delicacies, he lives upon them, and delights in them; he searcheth after all, and feeds upon that which is best for him; he looks not that man should fodder him in winter, as they do tame and working cattle, he looks out his own living, and picks up some green thing or other all the year long.
