12:2  Are you then men alone, and shall wisdom die with you?

12:2  Ergo vos estis soli homines, et vobiscum morietur sapientia ?

12:2  No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.

12:3  I also have a heart as well as you: for who is ignorant of these things, which you know?

12:3  Et mihi est cor sicut et vobis, nec inferior vestri sum ; quis enim hæc quæ nostis ignorat ?

12:3  But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

12:4  He that is mocked by his friends as I, shall call upon God and he will hear him: for the simplicity of the just man is laughed to scorn.

12:4  Qui deridetur ab amico suo, sicut ego, invocabit Deum, et exaudiet eum : deridetur enim justi simplicitas.

12:4  I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
