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

²² I was so foolish and ignorant—
    I must have seemed like a senseless animal to you.

⁸ Think again, you fools!
    When will you finally catch on?

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

¹⁴ The whole human race is foolish and has no knowledge!
    The craftsmen are disgraced by the idols they make,
for their carefully shaped works are a fraud.
    These idols have no breath or power.

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