    I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you.

⁶ Only a simpleton would not know,
    and only a fool would not understand this:

¹⁰ Those who are wise must finally die,
    just like the foolish and senseless,
    leaving all their wealth behind.

² I am too stupid to be human,
    and I lack common sense.

⁹ Do not be like a senseless horse or mule
    that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.”

⁵ O God, you know how foolish I am;
    my sins cannot be hidden from you.

³ Do you think we are mere animals?
    Do you think we are stupid?
