“How long, O naive ones, will you love being simple-minded?
And scoffers delight themselves in scoffing
And fools hate knowledge?

For the Lord will be your confidence
And will keep your foot from being caught.

He who is guarantor for a stranger will surely suffer for it,
But he who hates being a guarantor is secure.

The spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord,
Searching all the innermost parts of his being.

And my inmost being will rejoice
When your lips speak what is right.

Deliver those who are being taken away to death,
And those who are staggering to slaughter, Oh hold them back.
