“For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass’s colt.”
“But vain man is void of understanding, Yea, man is born as a wild ass’s colt. ”
“An empty-headed man becomes wise when a man is born as a wild donkey's colt.”
“A vain man is lifted up into pride, and thinketh himself born free like a wild ass's colt.”
“And so a hollow-minded man will get wisdom, when a young ass of the field gets teaching.”
“For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass’s colt.”
Its measure is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
If he comes by and confines you and convenes a court, then who can prevent him?
For he knows deceitful men; when he sees evil, will he not consider it?
But an empty man will become wise, when a wild donkey’s colt is born a human being.
“As for you, if you prove faithful, and if you stretch out your hands toward him,
if iniquity is in your hand– put it far away, and do not let evil reside in your tents.
For then you will lift up your face without blemish; you will be securely established and will not fear.
