The spiritually insensitive do not recognize this; the fool does not understand this.

畜类人不晓得；愚顽人也不明白。

畜牲一般的人不晓得，愚昧人也不明白。

Senseless people do not know, fools do not understand,

Here is something that people without sense don’t know. Here is what foolish people don’t understand.

The stupid man cannot know; the fool cannot understand this:

Only a simpleton would not know, and only a fool would not understand this:

A stupid person does not know, a fool does not understand this:

A stupid person has no knowledge, Nor does a foolish person understand this:

A senseless man does not know, Nor does a fool understand this.

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

A stupid person does not know, a fool does not understand this:

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

A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand this:

I was ignorant and lacked insight; I was as senseless as an animal before you.

Surely one sees that even wise people die; fools and spiritually insensitive people all pass away and leave their wealth to others.

Take notice of this, you ignorant people! You fools, when will you ever understand?

The unbeliever does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him. And he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned.

An ox recognizes its owner, a donkey recognizes where its owner puts its food; but Israel does not recognize me, my people do not understand.”

I say to the proud,“ Do not be proud,” and to the wicked,“ Do not be so confident of victory!

All these idolaters will prove to be stupid and ignorant. Every goldsmith will be disgraced by the idol he made. For the image he forges is merely a sham. There is no breath in any of those idols.

“ How long will you simpletons love naiveté? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?

Surely I am more brutish than any other human being, and I do not have human understanding;

Fools say to themselves,“ There is no God.” They sin and commit evil deeds; none of them does what is right.

Do not be like an unintelligent horse or mule, which will not obey you unless they are controlled by a bridle and bit.

Wisdom is unattainable for a fool; in court he does not open his mouth.

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