2No doubt but ye are the people, And wisdom shall die with you.

3But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: Yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

4I am as one that is a laughing-stock to his neighbor, I who called upon God, and he answered: The just, the perfect man is a laughing-stock.

5In the thought of him that is at ease there is contempt for misfortune; It is ready for them whose foot slippeth.

6The tents of robbers prosper, And they that provoke God are secure; Into whose hand God bringeth [abundantly].

7But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; And the birds of the heavens, and they shall tell thee:

8Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee; And the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
