An empty- headed man becomes wise when a man is born as a wild donkey’s colt.

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。

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.

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

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.

“ Who has set the wild donkey free? Or who has loosened the bonds of the swift donkey,whose home I have made the wilderness, and the salt land his dwelling place?He scorns the tumult of the city, neither does he hear the shouting of the driver.The range of the mountains is his pasture, He searches after every green thing.

I was so senseless and ignorant. I was a brute beast before you.

But do you want to know, vain man, that faith apart from works is dead?

I said in my heart,“ As for the sons of men, God tests them, so that they may see that they themselves are like animals.

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, don’t boast and don’t lie against the truth.This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, sensual, and demonic.For where jealousy and selfish ambition are, there is confusion and every evil deed.But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

To man he said,‘ Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. To depart from evil is understanding.’”

A senseless man doesn’t know, neither does a fool understand this:

Behold, I was born in iniquity. My mother conceived me in sin.

He takes the wise in their own craftiness; the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.

“ No doubt, but you are the people, and wisdom will die with you.But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Yes, who doesn’t know such things as these?

“ Surely I am the most ignorant man, and don’t have a man’s understanding.I have not learned wisdom, neither do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.Who has ascended up into heaven, and descended? Who has gathered the wind in his fists? Who has bound the waters in his 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 just a breath, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than a breath.Don’t trust in oppression. Don’t become vain in robbery. If riches increase, don’t set your heart on them.

a wild donkey used to the wilderness, that sniffs the wind in her craving. When she is in heat, 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 should be clean? What is he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone thinks that he is wise among you in this world, 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 has taken the wise in their craftiness.”And again,“ The Lord knows the reasoning of the wise, that it is worthless.”

We also all once lived among them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass? Or does the ox low over his fodder?

Be of the same mind one toward another. Don’t set your mind on high things, but associate with the humble. Don’t be wise in your own conceits.
