Say, wherefore are ye lacking in these things, And your souls are very thirsty?
Why are you still lacking in these things; why do you thirst for this?
For I have decided that I should act according to wisdom. I have been zealous for what is good, and so I will not be confounded.
For I have determined to follow her: I have had a zeal for good, and shall not be confounded.
Why do you admit that you are ignorant and do nothing about it?
Why therefore are you all lacking in these things, and your souls are very thirsty?
If your desire for her is like a great thirst, why haven't you quenched it?
