What wise men have told,
And have not concealed from their fathers,

“Hear my words, you wise men,
And listen to me, you who know.

“Men of understanding will say to me,
And a wise man who hears me,

“Can a vigorous man be of use to God,
Or a wise man be useful to himself?

“But come again all of you now,
For I do not find a wise man among you.

“Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge
And fill himself with the east wind?

“Therefore men fear Him;
He does not regard any who are wise of heart.”
