Psalm 73:22

Revised Standard Version (RSV-CI)

I was stupid and ignorant, I was like a beast toward thee.

See the chapter Copy

Why are we counted as cattle? Why are we stupid in your sight?

Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, else it will not keep with you.

Yea, he shall see that even the wise die, the fool and the stupid alike must perish and leave their wealth to others.

O God, thou knowest my folly; the wrongs I have done are not hidden from thee.

The dull man cannot know, the stupid cannot understand this:

that, though the wicked sprout like grass and all evildoers flourish, they are doomed to destruction for ever,

Surely I am too stupid to be a man. I have not the understanding of a man.

I said in my heart with regard to the sons of men that God is testing them to show them that they are but beasts.

The ox knows its owner, and the ass its master's crib; but Israel does not know, my people does not understand.”
