saying, Whoever is [the] most senseless of you, let him turn aside to me; and I exhort those that want prudence, saying,

So long as the simple cleave to justice, they shall not be ashamed: but the foolish being lovers of haughtiness, having become ungodly have hated knowledge, and have become subject to reproofs.

But the adulterer through lack of understanding procures destruction to his soul.

O you simple, understand prudence, and you that are untaught, take in knowledge.

The law of the Lord is perfect, converting souls; the testimony of the Lord is faithful, instructing babes.

The manifestation of Your words will enlighten, and instruct the simple.

Because you say, 'I am wealthy, and have become rich, and have need of nothing'--and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked,

I counsel you to buy from Me gold having been tried by fire, so that you may become rich; and white robes, so that you may be clothed, and the shame of your nakedness may not appear; and eye salve, so that you may anoint your eyes, in order that you may see.

And the Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" And let him who thirsts come. The [one] who desires, let him take [the] water of life freely.
