and I have seen among the simple, I have perceived among the youths, a young man lacking sense,

见愚蒙人内，少年人中，分明有一个无知的少年人，

看见在愚蒙人中，注意到孩儿中有一个无知的青年，

看见在愚蒙人中，注意到孩儿中有一个无知的青年，

只见在愚昧的青年人中，有个无知的青年，

看见在愚蒙人中间，在少年人（“少年人”原文作“众子”）里面，我发觉有一个无知的少年人，

我看到在无知的人中，发现在年轻人中间，有一个缺乏心智的少年人，

見愚蒙人內，少年人中，分明有一個無知的少年人，

看見在愚蒙人中，注意到孩兒中有一個無知的青年，

看見在愚蒙人中，注意到孩兒中有一個無知的青年，

只見在愚昧的青年人中，有個無知的青年，

看見在愚蒙人中間，在少年人（“少年人”原文作“眾子”）裡面，我發覺有一個無知的少年人，

見愚蠢人之內、男子之中、分明有一個全無心思的少年人，

我看到在無知的人中，發現在年輕人中間，有一個缺乏心智的少年人，

見樸拙少年中、有一乏知識者、

則見群少年、懵然無知、中有少者、更乏智慧、

則見在愚拙少年中、有一少者更無慧心、

I saw among the simple, I noticed among the young men, a youth who had no sense.

Among those who were childish I saw a young man who had no sense.

I saw some naive young men, and one in particular who lacked common sense.

I saw among the inexperienced, I noticed among the youths, a young man lacking sense.

And I saw among the naive, And discerned among the youths A young man lacking sense,

And saw among the simple, I perceived among the youths, A young man devoid of understanding,

And I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, A young man void of understanding,

I saw among the inexperienced, I noticed among the youths, a young man lacking sense.

And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,

and I saw among the naive– I discerned among the youths– a young man who lacked wisdom.

I saw among the simple ones. I discerned among the youths a young man void of understanding,

He who commits adultery lacks sense; he who does it destroys himself.

“ How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge?

For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ, but their own appetites, and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.For your obedience is known to all, so that I rejoice over you, but I want you to be wise as to what is good and innocent as to what is evil.

to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the youth—

“ Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” To him who lacks sense she says,

And he said,“ Are you also still without understanding?

The simple inherit folly, but the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

For the simple are killed by their turning away, and the complacency of fools destroys them;

“ For my people are foolish; they know me not; they are stupid children; they have no understanding. They are‘ wise’— in doing evil! But how to do good they know not.”

The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.

The unfolding of your words gives light; it imparts understanding to the simple.

Desire without knowledge is not good, and whoever makes haste with his feet misses his way.

The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;

O simple ones, learn prudence; O fools, learn sense.

I passed by the field of a sluggard, by the vineyard of a man lacking sense,

“ Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” And to him who lacks sense she says,

Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread, but he who follows worthless pursuits lacks sense.

The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.

Strike a scoffer, and the simple will learn prudence; reprove a man of understanding, and he will gain knowledge.

On the lips of him who has understanding, wisdom is found, but a rod is for the back of him who lacks sense.

The simple believes everything, but the prudent gives thought to his steps.
