⁶ A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

²² So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.

⁸ Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?

¹⁰ For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.

¹⁴ But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

²⁰ But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

¹⁴ Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the 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 the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

⁴ I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: 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 mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they 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.
