And I saw among the naive,
And discerned among the youths
A young man lacking sense,

The crafty saw evil, and he will hide, and the simple passed on and were punished.

I saw that thorns had grown up all over it, the ground was covered with weeds, and its stone wall was broken down.

Then looking at it, I gave thought: I saw, and I got teaching from it.

For good to say to thee, Come up hither, rather than humbling thyself before the noble whom thine eye saw.

The prudent one saw the evil, he hid himself; the simple passed and were punished.
