And saw among the simple, I perceived among the youths, A young man devoid of understanding,

见愚蒙人内，少年人中，分明有一个无知的少年人，

看见在愚蒙人中，注意到孩儿中有一个无知的青年，

看见在愚蒙人中，注意到孩儿中有一个无知的青年，

只见在愚昧的青年人中，有个无知的青年，

看见在愚蒙人中间，在少年人（“少年人”原文作“众子”）里面，我发觉有一个无知的少年人，

我看到在无知的人中，发现在年轻人中间，有一个缺乏心智的少年人，

見樸拙少年中、有一乏知識者、

則見群少年、懵然無知、中有少者、更乏智慧、

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 I saw among the naive, And discerned among the youths A young man lacking sense,

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,

and I saw among the naive– I discerned among the youths– a young man who lacked wisdom.

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

Whoever commits adultery with a woman lacks understanding; He who does so destroys his own soul.

“ How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, And fools hate knowledge.

For those who are such do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth words and flattering speech deceive the hearts of the simple.For your obedience has become known to all. Therefore I am glad on your behalf; but I want you to be wise in what is good, and simple concerning evil.

To give prudence to the simple, To the young man knowledge and discretion—

“ Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!” As for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,

So Jesus said,“ Are you also still without understanding?

The simple inherit folly, But the prudent are crowned with knowledge.

For the turning away of the simple will slay them, And the complacency of fools will destroy them;

“ For My people are foolish, They have not known Me. They are silly children, And they have no understanding. They are wise to do evil, But to do good they have no knowledge.”

A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself; The simple pass on and are punished.

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

Also it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge, And he sins who hastens with his feet.

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;

O you simple ones, understand prudence, And you fools, be of an understanding heart.

I went by the field of the lazy man, And by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding;

“ Whoever is simple, let him turn in here”; And as for him who lacks understanding, she says to him,

He who tills his land will be satisfied with bread, But he who follows frivolity is devoid of understanding.

A prudent man foresees evil and hides himself, But the simple pass on and are punished.

Strike a scoffer, and the simple will become wary; Rebuke one who has understanding, and he will discern knowledge.

Wisdom is found on the lips of him who has understanding, But a rod is for the back of him who is devoid of understanding.

The simple believes every word, But the prudent considers well his steps.
