Wilt thou trust him, because his strength [is] great?.... No; tame oxen are employed because they are strong to labour, Ps 144:14; and they are to be trusted, in ploughing or treading out the corn, under direction, because they are manageable, and will attend to business with constancy; but the wild ox, though stronger, and so fitter for labour, is yet not to be trusted, because unruly and unmanageable: if that sort of wild oxen called "uri" could be thought to be meant, for which Bootius contends, Caesar's account of them would agree with this character of the "reem", as to his great strength: he says of them , they are in size a little smaller than elephants, of the kind, colour, and shape of a bull; they are of great strength and of great swiftness, and not to be tamed;or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
to plough thy fields, to harrow thy lands, and to bring home the ripe corn?
