For he sees wise men die; likewise the fool and the brutish ones perish, and leave their wealth to others.

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

Understand, you stupid ones among the people; and you fools, when will you be wise?

For My people are foolish; they have not known Me; they are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

So I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish; for they do not know the way of Jehovah, nor the judgment of their God.

But they are, every one of them, dull-hearted and foolish; a piece of wood is a discipline in vanities.

For the shepherds have become stupid, and have not sought Jehovah, therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.

But You, O Jehovah, know me. You have seen me and tried my heart toward You. Pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and consecrate them for the day of slaughter.

And I will pour out My indignation upon you; I will blow against you with the fire of My wrath, and deliver you into the hands of brutal men who are skilled in destruction.

But these speak evil of things they do not know; and whatever they understand naturally, like animals without reason, in these things they corrupt themselves.

While they promise them liberty, they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by whom a person is overcome, by him also he is brought into bondage.

by which have been given to us exceedingly great and precious promises, that through these you may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

The wicked is cast down in his wickedness, but the righteous has refuge in his death.

Then Jesus said to them again, I am going away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin. Where I go you are not able to come.

For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap eternal life.
