O God, You know my folly, and my guilt is not hidden from You.

A brutish man does not know, nor does a fool understand this.

Surely I am more stupid than any man, and do not have the understanding of a man.

I said in my heart concerning the manner of the sons of men, that God tests them, that they might see that they themselves are beasts.

Do not be like the horse, or like the mule, which have no understanding, whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, so that they do not come near you.

The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master's manger, but Israel does not know; My people have not discerned.
