As if they were startled donkeys
like panicked donkeys
They are like fleeing zebras.
As if they were frightened zebras.
As if they were startled donkeys
They are like fleeing zebras.
Like fleeing zebras,
Running like zebras.
As though they were frightened asses
As if they were alarmed donkeys
as though they were terrified asses
As they were frightened asses
as though they were frightened wild asses,
As if they were zebras,
… who are running away from our admonitions…
As if they were (frightened) wild donkeys.
As if they were affrighted asses,
as if they were spooked zebras
as if they were wild donkeys,
like frightened asses
as if they were startled asses
as though they were timid asses
As if they were frightened asses
As if they were stampeding reddish asses,
as though they were timorous asses
As if they were frightened wild donkeys,
(They behave) as if they were frightened donkeys (making others frightful too),
as if they were terrified asses
