Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:

For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.

I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.

Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?

My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.

Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?

Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.

For foolish man would be wise, and man is born a wild ass's colt.

In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all flesh of man.

Causing counsellors to go away a spoil, And judges He maketh foolish.

Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?

But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.

Why doth thy heart carry thee away? And why do thine eyes flash,

“For he has covered his face with his fat
And made his thighs heavy with flesh.

It has come up as a witness against me, and the wasting of my flesh makes answer to my face.

My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.

Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:

It shall be that, to fill his belly, he will cast his fierce anger upon him, and will rain it upon him into his flesh.

Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.

Out of the city - out of the houses, they make outcry. and, the soul of the wounded, calleth for help, and, GOD, doth not regard it as foolish.

“Behold, all of you have seen it;
Why then do you act vainly and foolishly [cherishing worthless concepts]?

In appointing a statute for the rain, and a way for the thunder's flash:

Foolish men, without even a name.
They were forced to leave the land.

The flesh is gone from my bones, and they give me no rest; there is no end to my pains.

If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.

His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.

His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:

All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.

But surely not. Learn thou Job not to still give an answer like the foolish,

Dost thou know how +God hath disposed them, and how he causeth the lightning of his cloud to flash?

"What is he that hideth his mind with foolish words?

Who hath divided a channel for the rain-flood, and a way for the thunder's flash;

Upon it [the] quiver rattles [along with] [the] flash of [the] spear and [the] short sword.

Will you fill his flesh with harpoons, or his head with lances?

His sneezings flash forth light, And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.

Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?

O you sons of men, how long will you go on turning my glory into shame? how long will you give your love to foolish things, going after what is false? (Selah.)

The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.

Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

The law of the Lord is good, giving new life to the soul: the witness of the Lord is certain, giving wisdom to the foolish.

I have not taken my seat with foolish persons, and I do not go with false men.

When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

Let them be overcome and put to shame who make attempts to take my soul; let those who would do me damage be turned back and made foolish.

But, in mine overthrow, have they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together, - There gathered themselves together against me foolish men, and I knew it not, They have torn in pieces, and not been silent;

There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin.

No soundness in my flesh from thy wrath; no peace in my bones from the face of my sins.

My wounds are infected and starting to smell, because of my foolish sins.

For my loins are filled with a loathsome disease: and there is no soundness in my flesh.

For my loins were filled with inflammation, and no soundness in my flesh.

Deliver me from all my transgressions: make me not the reproach of the foolish.

Let those who go after my soul for its destruction have shame and trouble together; let them be turned back and made foolish who take pleasure in my trouble.

Those trusting on their wealth, And in the multitude of their riches, Do shew themselves foolish.

For he seeth wise men die, Together the foolish and brutish perish, And have left to others their wealth.

This [is] the journey [of those who] have foolish [confidence], and those after them [who] accept their sayings. Selah

Death will give them their food like sheep; the underworld is their fate and they will go down into it; their flesh is food for worms; their form is wasted away; the underworld is their resting-place for ever.

Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?

The foolish man has said in his heart, God will not do anything. They are unclean, they have done evil works; there is not one who does good.

In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.

{A Psalm of David, when he was in the wilderness of Judah.} O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;

O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.

O God, you see how foolish I am; and my wrongdoing is clear to you.

Let those who go after my soul have shame and trouble; let those who have evil designs against me be turned back and made foolish.

For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.

My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O LORD, and that the foolish people have blasphemed thy name.

Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.

At the last, I came to this point, that I thought, "O why art thou so foolish? the righthand of the most highest can change all!"

Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?

For he remembered that they were but flesh; a wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

He sent different sorts of flies among them, poisoning their flesh; and frogs for their destruction.

The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be meat unto the fowls of the heaven, the flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

My soul longeth, yea, even fainteth for the courts of the LORD: my heart and my flesh crieth out for the living God.

I will listen to what God will say;
surely the Lord will declare peace
to His people, His godly ones,
and not let them go back to foolish ways.

Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye foolish, when do ye act wisely?

By reason of the voice of my groaning My bones cleave to my flesh.

Foolish men, because of their sins, and because of their wrongdoing, are troubled;

My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.

My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.

Who giveth food to all flesh: for his mercy endureth for ever.

My flesh was made by you, and my parts joined together in my mother's body.

Flash forth lightning and scatter them; dispatch your arrows and rout them.

My mouth shall speak the praise of the LORD: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever and ever.

The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge; But the foolish despise wisdom and instruction.

It is foolish to spread a net
where any bird can see it,
