15 and forgets that the foot may crush them, or that the wild animal may trample them.

16 She deals harshly with her young ones, as if they were not hers. Though her labor is in vain, she is without fear,

17 because God has deprived her of wisdom, neither has he imparted to her understanding.

18 When she lifts up herself on high, she scorns the horse and his rider.
