Psalm 73:22

New Century Version

I was senseless and stupid. I acted like an animal toward you.

See the chapter Copy

I decided that God leaves it the way it is to test people and to show them they are just like animals.

Stupid people don’t know these things, and fools don’t understand.

See, even wise people die. Fools and stupid people also die and leave their wealth to others.

An ox knows its master, and a donkey knows where its owner feeds it, but the people of Israel do not know me; my people do not understand.”

“I am the most stupid person there is, and I have no understanding.

So don’t be like a horse or donkey, that doesn’t understand. They must be led with bits and reins, or they will not come near you.”

God, you know what I have done wrong; I cannot hide my guilt from you.

You think of us as cattle, as if we are stupid.

Wicked people grow like the grass. Evil people seem to do well, but they will be destroyed forever.
