Job 11:12
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
But a witless man can no more become wise than the colt of a wild donkey can be born a man!
In context
10 If He comes along to imprison you, or convenes a court, who can stop Him?
11 Surely He knows the deceit of men. If He sees iniquity, does He not take note?
12 But a witless man can no more become wise than the colt of a wild donkey can be born a man!
13 As for you, if you direct your heart and lift up your hands to Him,
14 if you put away the iniquity in your hand, and allow no injustice to dwell in your tents,
