    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]

and summons the assembly,[b] then[c] who can hinder him?

when he sees[e] iniquity, he will not consider it.[f]
12 But[g] an empty-headed person[h] will get understanding
when[i] a wild donkey’s colt is born as a human being.
