Job 11:12
World English Bible (WEB)
An empty-headed man becomes wise when a man is born as a wild donkey’s colt.
In context
10 If he passes by, or confines, or convenes a court, then who can oppose him?
11 For he knows false men. He sees iniquity also, even though he doesn’t consider it.
12 An empty-headed man becomes wise when a man is born as a wild donkey’s colt.
13 “If you set your heart aright, stretch out your hands toward him.
14 If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away. Don’t let unrighteousness dwell in your tents.
