But vain man is void of understanding, Yea, man is born as a wild ass’s colt.

空虚的人却毫无知识；人生在世好像野驴的驹子。

空虚的人若获得知识，野驴生下的驹子也成了人。

空虚的人若获得知识，野驴生下的驹子也成了人。

愚蠢人若能变得聪明，野驴驹也可生成人样。

虚妄的人悟出慧心，就像野驴生子为人。

空虛的人卻毫無知識；人生在世好像野驢的駒子。

空虛的人若獲得知識，野驢生下的駒子也成了人。

空虛的人若獲得知識，野驢生下的駒子也成了人。

愚蠢人若能變得聰明，野驢駒也可生成人樣。

虛妄的人悟出慧心，就像野驢生子為人。

故此空空洞洞的人有心思，野驢駒子也生成為人！

世人空空無知、生而等於野驢之子、

斯世之人、冥頑不靈、空空如也、自其誕生、已若野驢之子。

世人空空無知、自其誕生、已如野驢之子、或作人雖空虛生如野驢之子亦當省悟

But the witless can no more become wise than a wild donkey’s colt can be born human.

A wild donkey’s colt can’t be born a human being. And it’s just as impossible that a person without sense can become wise.

But a stupid man will get understanding when a wild donkey’s colt is born a man!

An empty headed person won’t become wise any more than a wild donkey can bear a human child.

But a stupid person will gain understanding as soon as a wild donkey is born a human!

An idiot will become intelligent When a wild donkey is born a human.

For an empty-headed man will be wise, When a wild donkey’s colt is born a man.

But a stupid man will gain understanding as soon as a wild donkey is born a man!

For vain man would be wise, though man be born[ like] a wild ass’s colt.

But an empty man will become wise, when a wild donkey’s colt is born a human being.

An empty- headed man becomes wise when a man is born as a wild donkey’s colt.

Who hath sent out the wild ass free? Or who hath loosed the bonds of the swift ass,Whose home I have made the wilderness, And the salt land his dwelling- place?He scorneth the tumult of the city, Neither heareth he the shoutings of the driver.The range of the mountains is his pasture, And he searcheth after every green thing.

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

But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith apart from works is barren?

I said in my heart, It is because of the sons of men, that God may prove them, and that they may see that they themselves are but as beasts.

Who is wise and understanding among you? let him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom.But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth.This wisdom is not a wisdom that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed.But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without variance, without hypocrisy.

And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.

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

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; And in sin did my mother conceive me.

He taketh the wise in their own craftiness; And the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.

No doubt but ye are the people, And wisdom shall die with you.But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: Yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

Surely I am more brutish than any man, And have not the understanding of a man;And I have not learned wisdom, Neither have I the knowledge of the Holy One.Who hath ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who hath gathered the wind in his fists? Who hath bound the waters in his garment? Who hath established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is his son’s name, if thou knowest?

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: In the balances they will go up; They are together lighter than vanity.Trust not in oppression, And become not vain in robbery: If riches increase, set not your heart thereon.

a wild ass used to the wilderness, that snuffeth up the wind in her desire; in her occasion who can turn her away? all they that seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they shall find her.

What is man, that he should be clean? And he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Let no man deceive himself. If any man thinketh that he is wise among you in this world, let him become a fool, that he may become wise.For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He that taketh the wise in their craftiness:and again, The Lord knoweth the reasonings of the wise, that they are vain.

among whom we also all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:—

Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? Or loweth the ox over his fodder?

Be of the same mind one toward another. Set not your mind on high things, but condescend to things that are lowly. Be not wise in your own conceits.
