Only a simpleton would not know, and only a fool would not understand this:

畜类人不晓得；愚顽人也不明白。

畜牲一般的人不晓得，愚昧人也不明白。

畜牲一般的人不晓得，愚昧人也不明白。

无知的人不会明白，愚蠢的人也不会了解：

无理性的人不晓得，愚昧的人不明白这事：

愚拙人不明白，愚昧人不领悟：

畜類人不曉得；愚頑人也不明白。

畜牲一般的人不曉得，愚昧人也不明白。

Senseless people do not know, fools do not understand,

Here is something that people without sense don’t know. Here is what foolish people don’t understand.

The stupid man cannot know; the fool cannot understand this:

A stupid person does not know, a fool does not understand this:

A stupid person has no knowledge, Nor does a foolish person understand this:

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

A brutish man knoweth not; Neither doth a fool understand this:

A stupid person does not know, a fool does not understand this:

A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

The spiritually insensitive do not recognize this; the fool does not understand this.

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

I was so foolish and ignorant— I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you.

Those who are wise must finally die, just like the foolish and senseless, leaving all their wealth behind.

Think again, you fools! When will you finally catch on?

But people who aren’t spiritual can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can’t understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means.

Even an ox knows its owner, and a donkey recognizes its master’s care— but Israel doesn’t know its master. My people don’t recognize my care for them.”

“ I warned the proud,‘ Stop your boasting!’ I told the wicked,‘ Don’t raise your fists!

The whole human race is foolish and has no knowledge! The craftsmen are disgraced by the idols they make, for their carefully shaped works are a fraud. These idols have no breath or power.

“ How long, you simpletons, will you insist on being simpleminded? How long will you mockers relish your mocking? How long will you fools hate knowledge?

I am too stupid to be human, and I lack common sense.

Only fools say in their hearts,“ There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good!

Do not be like a senseless horse or mule that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.”

Wisdom is too lofty for fools. Among leaders at the city gate, they have nothing to say.

“ But God said to him,‘ You fool! You will die this very night. Then who will get everything you worked for?’
