10 If God comes and puts a person in prison
    or calls the court to order, who can stop him?

    and he takes note of all their sins.
12 An empty-headed person won’t become wise
    any more than a wild donkey can bear a human child.[a]

10 “If he bypasses, or imprisons, or convenes a court,[a]

11 For he knows mankind’s[c] deceitfulness;
    when he sees iniquity, won’t he himself consider it?
12 An empty-headed person will gain understanding
    when a wild donkey is born a human being!”
