12And empty man is bold, And the colt of a wild ass man is born.


In Context

9 Longer than earth is its measure, And broader than the sea.

10 If He pass on, and shut up, and assemble, Who then dost reverse it?

11 For he hath known men of vanity, And He seeth iniquity, And one doth not consider it!

12 And empty man is bold, And the colt of a wild ass man is born.

13 If thou — thou hast prepared thy heart, And hast spread out unto Him thy hands,

14 If iniquity is in thy hand, put it far off, And let not perverseness dwell in thy tents.
