Not as wise as the
ox,
which knows its
owner;
not as wise as the
donkey,
which knows its
master's crib.
We do not understand
that one day
is like a thousand
years in your sight,
or that a thousand
years are like one day--
thus do not know when
you will come to us.
Lift up the gates
that keep you from us, O God;
lift our heads and
our hearts, that you may come in.

Selected Verses
Ps. 24:7
Lift up your heads, O gates!
and be
lifted up, O ancient doors!
that the
King of glory may come in.
Isa. 1:3
The ox knows its owner,
and the donkey its master's crib;
but Israel does not know,
my people do not understand.
and the donkey its master's crib;
but Israel does not know,
my people do not understand.
2 Peter 3:8
But do not ignore this one fact, beloved, that with the Lord
one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day.
Matt. 25:13
"…Keep awake therefore, for you know neither the day
nor the hour." [Jesus to his
disciples]
