An ox knows its owner, and a donkey its master's crib/ "the ox knows his owner and the ass his master's crib"

By extension: a person knows who they depend on and who cares for and provides for their needs (just as even an ox and a donkey know this).

("An ox knows its owner, and a donkey its master's crib; but Israel does not know, my people do not understand" - Isaiah 1:3)
