And leave their wealth to others.

I was like a beast before You.

Nor does a [self-righteous] fool understand this:

Whoever loves instruction and discipline loves knowledge,
But he who hates reproof and correction is stupid.
Isaiah 27:11

When its branches are dry, they are broken off;
The women come and make a fire with them.
For they are not a people of understanding,
Therefore He who made them will not have compassion on them,
And He who created them will not be gracious to them.
Jeremiah 8:6

“I have listened and heard,
But they have spoken what is not right;
No man repented of his wickedness,
Saying, ‘What have I done?’
Everyone turns to his [individual] course,
As the horse rushes like a torrent into battle.
Jeremiah 10:8

But they are altogether irrational and stupid and foolish
In their discipline of delusion—their idol is [only] wood [it is ridiculous, empty and worthless]!

There is none who understands,
There is none who seeks for God.
