"And so a hollow-minded man will get wisdom, when a young ass of the field gets teaching."
— Job 11:12, Bible in Basic English
“For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass’s colt.”

And so a hollow-minded man will get wisdom, when a young ass of the field gets teaching.
But if you put your heart right, stretching out your hands to him;

Then truly your face will be lifted up, with no mark of sin, and you will be fixed in your place without fear:
