⁵ Evil men understand not judgment, And those seeking Jehovah understand all.

²⁷ and you, the anointing that ye did receive from him, in you it doth remain, and ye have no need that any one may teach you, but as the same anointing doth teach you concerning all, and is true, and is not a lie, and even as was taught you, ye shall remain in him.

²⁰ And ye have an anointing from the Holy One, and have known all things;

¹⁷ if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or -- I do speak from myself.

⁶ A brutish man doth not know, And a fool understandeth not this; --

⁵ and if any of you do lack wisdom, let him ask from God, who is giving to all liberally, and not reproaching, and it shall be given to him;

¹⁴ and the natural man doth not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know `them', because spiritually they are discerned;

¹⁵ and he who is spiritual, doth discern indeed all things, and he himself is by no one discerned;

¹⁰ And when he was alone, those about him, with the twelve, did ask him of the simile,

¹¹ and he said to them, `To you it hath been given to know the secret of the reign of God, but to those who are without, in similes are all the things done;

¹² that seeing they may see and not perceive, and hearing they may hear and not understand, lest they may turn, and the sins may be forgiven them.'

¹³ And he saith to them, `Have ye not known this simile? and how shall ye know all the similes?

²² For my people `are' foolish, me they have not known, Foolish sons `are' they, yea, they `are' not intelligent, Wise `are' they to do evil, And to do good they have not known.

⁷ Wisdom `is' high for a fool, In the gate he openeth not his mouth.

²⁴ A path of life `is' on high for the wise, To turn aside from Sheol beneath.

¹⁰⁰ Above elders I understand more, For Thy precepts I have kept.

¹⁴ The secret of Jehovah `is' for those fearing Him, And His covenant -- to cause them to know.
