²² And I am brutish, and do not know. A beast I have been with Thee.

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

¹⁸ I said in my heart concerning the matter of the sons of man that God might cleanse them, so as to see that they themselves `are' beasts.

¹⁰ For he seeth wise men die, Together the foolish and brutish perish, And have left to others their wealth.

³ Wherefore have we been reckoned as cattle? We have been defiled in your eyes!

⁹ Be ye not as a horse -- as a mule, Without understanding, With bridle and bit, its ornaments, to curb, Not to come near unto thee.

⁵ O God, Thou -- Thou hast known Concerning my overturn, And my desolations from Thee have not been hid.

² For I am more brutish than any one, And have not the understanding of a man.

³ An ox hath known its owner, And an ass the crib of its master, Israel hath not known, My people hath not understood.
