I wish they were wise. Then they would understand what’s coming. They’d realize what would happen to them in the end.

If they were wise, they would understand this; they would discern their latter end!

Oh, that they were wise and could understand this! Oh, that they might know their fate!

If only they were wise, they would comprehend this; they would understand their fate.

If only they were wise and they understood this; If only they would discern their future!

Oh, that they were wise, that they understood this, That they would consider their latter end!

Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, That they would consider their latter end!

If only they were wise, they would figure it out; they would understand their fate.

O that they were wise,[ that] they understood this,[ that] they would consider their latter end!

I wish that they were wise and could understand this, and that they could comprehend what will happen to them.”

Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

Oh, that their hearts would be inclined to fear me and keep all my commands always, so that it might go well with them and their children forever!

“ If my people would only listen to me, if Israel would only follow my ways,

“ There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day.At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with soresand longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.“ The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried.In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side.So he called to him,‘ Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’“ But Abraham replied,‘ Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.

As he approached Jerusalem and saw the city, he wept over itand said,“ If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace— but now it is hidden from your eyes.

“ But God said to him,‘ You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?’

Who is wise? Let them realize these things. Who is discerning? Let them understand. The ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.

You said,‘ I am forever— the eternal queen!’ But you did not consider these things or reflect on what might happen.

If only you had paid attention to my commands, your peace would have been like a river, your well- being like the waves of the sea.Your descendants would have been like the sand, your children like its numberless grains; their name would never be blotted out nor destroyed from before me.”

Let the one who is wise heed these things and ponder the loving deeds of the Lord.

The prophets prophesy lies, the priests rule by their own authority, and my people love it this way. But what will you do in the end?

Her filthiness clung to her skirts; she did not consider her future. Her fall was astounding; there was none to comfort her.“ Look, Lord, on my affliction, for the enemy has triumphed.”

Let them give thanks to the Lord for his unfailing love and his wonderful deeds for mankind,

Like a partridge that hatches eggs it did not lay are those who gain riches by unjust means. When their lives are half gone, their riches will desert them, and in the end they will prove to be fools.

What will you do on the day of reckoning, when disaster comes from afar? To whom will you run for help? Where will you leave your riches?
