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

你们民间的畜类人当思想；你们愚顽人到几时才有智慧呢？

百姓中像畜牲一般的人当思想，你们愚昧人要到几时才有智慧呢？

百姓中像畜牲一般的人当思想，你们愚昧人要到几时才有智慧呢？

愚昧的人啊，你们要思想；无知的人啊，你们何时才能明白呢？

民间的愚昧人哪！你们要留心；愚顽人哪！你们要到几时才能明白呢？

民中的愚拙人哪，你们要有悟性！愚昧人哪，你们什么时候才有智慧呢？

愚蠢之民、爾其思之、蒙昧之輩、何時為智乎、

愚蠢之人、懵然無知、何日明此理兮、

民間無知者、爾曹當悟、愚蠢之輩、爾曹何時方明、

麻木焉得仁。冥頑何時靈。

Take notice, you senseless ones among the people; you fools, when will you become wise?

You who aren’t wise, pay attention. You foolish people, when will you become wise?

Understand, O dullest of the people! Fools, when will you be wise?

Pay attention, you stupid people! Fools, when will you be wise?

Pay attention, you stupid ones among the people; And when will you understand, foolish ones?

Understand, you senseless among the people; And you fools, when will you be wise?

Consider, ye brutish among the people; And ye fools, when will ye be wise?

Pay attention, you stupid people! Fools, when will you be wise?

Understand, ye brutish among the people: and[ ye] fools, when will ye be wise?

Take notice of this, you ignorant people! You fools, when will you ever understand?

Consider, you senseless among the people; you fools, when will you be wise?

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

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

No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God.

Once we, too, were foolish and disobedient. We were misled and became slaves to many lusts and pleasures. Our lives were full of evil and envy, and we hated each other.

People who worship idols are stupid and foolish. The things they worship are made of wood!

Oh, that they were wise and could understand this! Oh, that they might know their fate!

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

You simple people, use good judgment. You foolish people, show some understanding.

To learn, you must love discipline; it is stupid to hate correction.

The people are like the dead branches of a tree, broken off and used for kindling beneath the cooking pots. Israel is a foolish and stupid nation, for its people have turned away from God. Therefore, the one who made them will show them no pity or mercy.

I listen to their conversations and don’t hear a word of truth. Is anyone sorry for doing wrong? Does anyone say,“ What a terrible thing I have done”? No! All are running down the path of sin as swiftly as a horse galloping into battle!Even the stork that flies across the sky knows the time of her migration, as do the turtledove, the swallow, and the crane. They all return at the proper time each year. But not my people! They do not know the Lord’s laws.“‘ How can you say,“ We are wise because we have the word of the Lord,” when your teachers have twisted it by writing lies?
