Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These {are} the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up {their} horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.

O ye simple, understand wisdom: and, ye fools, be ye of an understanding heart.

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?

Understand, ye brutish among the people: and {ye} fools, when will ye be wise?

For thou {art} the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.

He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; {even} of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD.

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Then said I, What come these to do? And he spake, saying, These {are} the horns which have scattered Judah, so that no man did lift up his head: but these are come to fray them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles, which lifted up {their} horn over the land of Judah to scatter it.

The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity. {in...: Heb. before thine eyes}

For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one. {envy: or, indignation}

He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee daily.

A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this.

{Ye} fools, did not he that made that which is without make that which is within also?

For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
