⁶ A brutish man knoweth not; Neither doth a fool understand this:

²² So brutish was I, and ignorant; I was `as' a beast before thee.

⁸ Consider, ye brutish among the people; And ye fools, when will ye be wise?

¹⁰ For he shall see it. Wise men die; The fool and the brutish alike perish, And leave their wealth to others.

¹⁴ Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged.

²⁰ But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?

¹⁴ Every man is become brutish `and is' without knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his graven image; for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

³ The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib; `but' Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

² Surely I am more brutish than any man, And have not the understanding of a man;

⁷ Wisdom is too high for a fool: He openeth not his mouth in the gate.

²² How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And scoffers delight them in scoffing, And fools hate knowledge?

⁴ I said unto the arrogant, Deal not arrogantly; And to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

⁹ Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding; Whose trappings must be bit and bridle to hold them in, `Else' they will not come near unto thee.

¹ The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works; There is none that doeth good.
