I was brutish and ignorant; I was like a beast toward you.
I said in my heart with regard to the children of man that God is testing them that they may see that they themselves are but beasts.
The stupid man cannot know; the fool cannot understand this:
For he sees that even the wise die; the fool and the stupid alike must perish and leave their wealth to others.
The ox knows its owner, and the donkey its master's crib, but Israel does not know, my people do not understand.”
Surely I am too stupid to be a man. I have not the understanding of a man.
Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you.
O God, you know my folly; the wrongs I have done are not hidden from you.
Why are we counted as cattle? Why are we stupid in your sight?
