The ox knows his owner, and the donkey his master's crib: but Israel does not know, my people do not consider.
All Commentaries on Isaiah 1:3 Go To Isaiah 1
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
Therefore those oxen magnified the Lord, not themselves. See the ox magnifying his Lord because the ox has acknowledged his owner; observe the ox fearing that the ox’s owner may be deserted and confidence be placed in the ox. How he is terrified of those who want to put hope in him!
