For vain

Those of low estate are but a breath; those of high estate are a delusion; in the balances they go up; they are together lighter than a breath.

I was brutish and ignorant; I was like a beast toward you.

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

I said in my heart with regard to the children of man that God is testing them that they may see that they themselves are but beasts.

Claiming to be wise, they became fools,

Do you want to be shown, you foolish person, that faith apart from works is useless?

Would

He catches the wise in their own craftiness, and the schemes of the wily are brought to a quick end.

"No doubt you are the people, and wisdom will die with you.

And he said to man, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to turn away from evil is understanding.'"

Surely I am too stupid to be a man. I have not the understanding of a man.

Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly.Never be wise in your own sight.

Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise.

Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.

Man be

What is man, that he can be pure? Or he who is born of a woman, that he can be righteous?

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

among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.

A wild

Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass, or the ox low over his fodder?

"Who has let the wild donkey go free? Who has loosed the bonds of the swift donkey,

a wild donkey used to the wilderness, in her heat sniffing the wind! Who can restrain her lust? None who seek her need weary themselves; in her month they will find her.
