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.

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

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

One who commits adultery with a woman is lacking sense; He who would destroy himself commits it.

“ How long, you naive ones, will you love simplistic thinking? And how long will scoffers delight themselves in scoffing And fools hate knowledge?

For such people are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.For the report of your obedience has reached everyone; therefore I am rejoicing over you, but I want you to be wise in what is good, and innocent in what is evil.

To give prudence to the naive, To the youth knowledge and discretion,

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

Jesus said,“ Are you also still lacking in understanding?

The naive inherit foolishness, But the sensible are crowned with knowledge.

For the faithlessness of the naive will kill them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them.

“ For My people are foolish, They do not know Me; They are foolish children And have no understanding. They are skillful at doing evil, But they do not know how to do good.”

A prudent person sees evil and hides himself; But the naive proceed, and pay the penalty.

The unfolding of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.

Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge, And one who hurries his footsteps errs.

The Law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.

You naive ones, understand prudence; And, you fools, understand wisdom!

I passed by the field of a lazy one, And by the vineyard of a person lacking sense,

“ Whoever is naive, let him turn in here,” And to him who lacks understanding she says,

One who works his land will have plenty of bread, But one who pursues worthless things lacks sense.

A prudent person sees evil and hides himself, But the naive proceed, and pay the penalty.

Strike a scoffer and the naive may become clever, But rebuke one who has understanding, and he will gain knowledge.

On the lips of the discerning, wisdom is found, But a rod is for the back of him who has no sense.

The naive believes everything, But the sensible person considers his steps.
