For an empty-headed man will be wise, When a wild donkey’s colt is born a man.

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。

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。

愚蠢人若能變得聰明，野驢駒也可生成人樣。

虛妄的人悟出慧心，就像野驢生子為人。

故此空空洞洞的人有心思，野驢駒子也生成為人！

世人空空無知、生而等於野驢之子、

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.

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

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

But vain man is void of understanding, Yea, man is born as a wild ass’s colt.

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

For vain man would be wise, though man be born[ like] a wild ass’s colt.

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 loosed the bonds of the onager,Whose home I have made the wilderness, And the barren land his dwelling?He scorns the tumult of the city; He does not heed the shouts of the driver.The range of the mountains is his pasture, And he searches after every green thing.

I was so foolish and ignorant; I was like a beast before You.

But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?

I said in my heart,“ Concerning the condition of the sons of men, God tests them, that they may see that they themselves are like animals.”

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom.But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth.This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there.But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.

And to man He said,‘ Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to depart from evil is understanding.’”

A senseless man does not know, Nor does a fool understand this.

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, And in sin my mother conceived me.

He catches the wise in their own craftiness, And the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them.

“ No doubt you are the people, And wisdom will die with you!But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Indeed, who does not know such things as these?

Surely I am more stupid than any man, And do not have the understanding of a man.I neither learned wisdom Nor have knowledge of the Holy One.Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name, and what is His Son’s name, If you know?

Surely men of low degree are a vapor, Men of high degree are a lie; If they are weighed on the scales, They are altogether lighter than vapor.Do not trust in oppression, Nor vainly hope in robbery; If riches increase, Do not set your heart on them.

A wild donkey used to the wilderness, That sniffs at the wind in her desire; In her time of mating, who can turn her away? All those who seek her will not weary themselves; In her month they will find her.

“ What is man, that he could be pure? And he who is born of a woman, that he could be righteous?

Professing to be wise, they became fools,

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written,“ He catches the wise in their own craftiness”;and again,“ The Lord knows the thoughts of the wise, that they are futile.”

among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.

Does the wild donkey bray when it has grass, Or does the ox low over its fodder?

Be of the same mind toward one another. Do not set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Do not be wise in your own opinion.
