For vain

Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie. In the balances they will go up. They are together lighter than vanity.

So I was brutish, and ignorant. I was a beast before thee.

A brutish man knows not, nor does a fool understand this.

I said in my heart, [It is] because of the sons of men, that God may prove them, and that they may see that they themselves are beasts.

Professing to be wise, they became foolish,

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

Would

No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.

And to man he said, Behold, the fear of LORD, that is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding.

Surely I am more brutish than any man, and have not the understanding of a man,

thinking the same way toward each other, not thinking on lofty things, but accommodating to the lowly. Become not wise according to yourselves,

Let not one man deceive himself. If any man among you seems to be wise in this age, let him become foolish so that he may become wise.

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show from his good behavior his works in mildness of wisdom.

Man be

What is man, that he should be clean? And he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me.

Among whom we also all once behaved in the lusts of our flesh, doing the intentions of the flesh and of the thoughts, and were by nature children of wrath as also the others.

A wild

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

Who has sent out the wild donkey free? Or who has loosed the bonds of the swift donkey

a wild donkey used to the wilderness, that sniffs up the wind in her desire. In her time of estrus who can turn her away? All those who seek her will not weary themselves. In her month they shall find her.
