Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.

Understand, ye brutish among the people: and ye fools, when will ye be wise?

Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man.

The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider.

Every man is brutish in his knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

For he seeth that wise men die, likewise the fool and the brutish person perish, and leave their wealth to others.

I said unto the fools, Deal not foolishly: and to the wicked, Lift not up the horn:

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

Wisdom is too high for a fool: he openeth not his mouth in the gate.

But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
