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

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。

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。

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.

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

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 set the wild donkey free? Who released the swift donkey from its harness?I made the desert its home, and the salty wasteland its dwelling.It scoffs at the noise of the village and never hears the shouts of a driver.It roams the mountains for its pastureland, searching for anything green.

I was stupid and didn’t understand; I was an unthinking animal toward you.

Senseless person! Are you willing to learn that faith without works is useless?

I said to myself,“ This happens so that God may test the children of Adam and they may see for themselves that they are like animals.”

Who among you is wise and understanding? By his good conduct he should show that his works are done in the gentleness that comes from wisdom.But if you have bitter envy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t boast and deny the truth.Such wisdom does not come down from above but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.For where there is envy and selfish ambition, there is disorder and every evil practice.But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without pretense.

He said to mankind,“ The fear of the Lord— that is wisdom. And to turn from evil is understanding.”

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

Indeed, I was guilty when I was born; I was sinful when my mother conceived me.

He traps the wise in their craftiness so that the plans of the deceptive are quickly brought to an end.

No doubt you are the people, and wisdom will die with you!But I also have a mind like you; I am not inferior to you. Who doesn’t know the things you are talking about?

I am more stupid than any other person, and I lack a human’s ability to understand.I have not gained wisdom, and I have no knowledge of the Holy One.Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in his hands? Who has bound up the waters in a cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and what is the name of his son— if you know?

Common people are only a vapor; important people, an illusion. Together on a scale, they weigh less than a vapor.Place no trust in oppression or false hope in robbery. If wealth increases, don’t set your heart on it.

a wild donkey at home in the wilderness. She sniffs the wind in the heat of her desire. Who can control her passion? All who look for her will not become weary; they will find her in her mating season.

What is a mere human, that he should be pure, or one born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

Claiming to be wise, they became fools

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks he is wise in this age, let him become a fool so that he can become wise.For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, since it is written, He catches the wise in their craftiness;and again, The Lord knows that the reasonings of the wise are futile.

We too all previously lived among them in our fleshly desires, carrying out the inclinations of our flesh and thoughts, and we were by nature children under wrath as the others were also.

Does a wild donkey bray over fresh grass or an ox low over its fodder?

Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud; instead, associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own estimation.
