^6 (A)A senseless man does not know,
Nor does a fool understand this.

¹¹ There is none who understands;
There is none who seeks after God.

^29 (A)Oh, that they were wise, that they understood this,
That they would consider their ^(B)latter end!

⁸ But they are altogether ^(A)dull-hearted and foolish;
A wooden idol is a ^[a]worthless doctrine.

^6 (A)I listened and heard,
But they do not speak aright.
^(B)No man repented of his wickedness,
Saying, ‘What have I done?’

As the horse rushes into the battle.

¹¹ When its boughs are withered, they will be broken off;
The women come and set them on fire.
For ^(A)it is a people of no understanding;
Therefore He who made them will ^(B)not have mercy on them,
And ^(C)He who formed them will show them no favor.
