The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

Saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! but now they are hid from thine eyes.
