Ye simple

And I saw among the

naive,

And discerned among the youths
A young man lacking sense,

“Whoever is naive, let him turn in here!”
To him who lacks understanding she says,

Pay heed, you senseless among the people;
And when will you understand, stupid ones?

But go and learn

what this means: ‘I desire

compassion

, and not sacrifice,’ for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”

Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, the way a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were unwilling.

The scorners

Though He scoffs at the scoffers,
Yet He gives grace to the afflicted.

A scoffer seeks wisdom and finds none,
But knowledge is easy to one who has understanding.

A scoffer does not love one who reproves him,
He will not go to the wise.

Judgments are prepared for scoffers,

And blows for the back of fools.

When the scoffer is punished, the naive becomes wise;
But when the wise is instructed, he receives knowledge.

“What man is like Job,
Who drinks up derision like water,

How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked,
Nor stand in the

path of sinners,

Nor sit in the seat of scoffers!

Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts,
