5“Who let the wild donkeys go free?
Who untied their ropes?
6I gave them the dry and empty land as their home.
I gave them salt flats to live in.
7They laugh at all of the noise in town.
They do not hear the shouts of the donkey drivers.
8They wander over the hills to look for grass.
They search for anything green to eat.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
“Who has let the wild donkey go free?
Who has loosed the bonds of the swift donkey,
to whom I have given the arid plain for his home
and the salt land for his dwelling place?
He scorns the tumult of the city;
he hears not the shouts of the driver.
He ranges the mountains as his pasture,
and he searches after every green thing.

“Who let the wild donkey go free?
Who untied its ropes?
I gave it the wasteland as its home,
the salt flats as its habitat.
It laughs at the commotion in the town;
it does not hear a driver’s shout.
It ranges the hills for its pasture
and searches for any green thing.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Who set the wild donkey free?
Who released the swift donkey from its harness?
I made the desert its home,
and the salty wasteland its dwelling.
It scoffs at the noise of the village
and never hears the shouts of a driver.
It roams the mountains for its pastureland,
searching for anything green.

NLTNew Living Translation
“Who gives the wild donkey its freedom?
Who untied its ropes?
I have placed it in the wilderness;
its home is the wasteland.
It hates the noise of the city
and has no driver to shout at it.
The mountains are its pastureland,
where it searches for every blade of grass.

“Who has sent forth the wild ass free?
And who has released the wild donkey’s bonds,
to which I have given the wilderness as its house
and the salt flat as its dwelling place?
It scorns the city’s turmoil;
it does not hear the driver’s shouts.
It explores the mountains as its pasture
and searches after every kind of green plant.

KJV 1900King James Version
Who hath sent out the wild ass free?
Or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?
Whose house I have made the wilderness,
And the barren land his dwellings.
He scorneth the multitude of the city,
Neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.
The range of the mountains is his pasture,
And he searcheth after every green thing.
