יָדַע שׁוֹר קֹנֵהוּ וַחֲמוֹר אֵבוּס בְּעָלָיו
בְּהַשְׁאָלָה: אָדָם יוֹדֵעַ בְּמִי הוּא תָּלוּי וּמִי דּוֹאֵג לוֹ וּמְסַפֵּק לוֹ אֶת צְרָכָיו (כְּמוֹ שֶׁאֲפִילּוּ הַשּׁוֹר וְהַחֲמוֹר יוֹדְעִים זֹאת).
("יָדַע שׁוֹר קֹנֵהוּ וַחֲמוֹר אֵבוּס בְּעָלָיו, יִשְׂרָאֵל לֹא יָדַע עַמִּי לֹא הִתְבּוֹנָן"- יְשַׁעְיָהוּ א ג)
