And I saw among the simple, I observed among the youth, 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 I saw, and considered it well: I looked upon it, and received instruction.

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.
