2 Desire without knowledge is not good—

how much more will hasty feet miss the way!

3 A person’s own folly leads to their ruin,

yet their heart rages against the Lord.

2 Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good;

And he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

3 The foolishness of man perverteth his way:

And his heart fretteth against the Lord.

2 Enthusiasm without knowledge is no good;

haste makes mistakes.

3 People ruin their lives by their own foolishness

and then are angry at the Lord.

2 Also it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge,

And he sins who hastens with his feet.

3 The foolishness of a man twists his way,

And his heart frets against the Lord.

2 Enthusiasm without knowledge is not good.

If you act too quickly, you might make a mistake.

3 People’s own foolishness ruins their lives,

but in their minds they blame the Lord.

2 Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good;

And he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.

3 The foolishness of man subverteth his way;

And his heart fretteth against Jehovah.

2 Also that a person be without knowledge is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet maketh false steps.

3 The folly of man distorteth his way, and his heart is irritated against Jehovah.

2 A person without knowledge is no good. 

A person in a hurry makes mistakes. 

3 The stupidity of a person turns his life upside down, 

and his heart rages against the Lord. 

2 Even zeal is not good without knowledge,

and the one who acts hastily sins.

3 A man’s own foolishness leads him astray,

yet his heart rages against the Lord.

2 Desire without knowledge is not good,

and one who moves too hurriedly misses the way.

3 One’s own folly leads to ruin,

yet the heart rages against the Lord.

2 Also, a life without knowledge is not good,

and he who moves quickly with his feet misses the mark.

3 As for the folly of humankind, its way leads to ruin,

and against Yahweh his heart will rage.

2 It isn’t good to get all stirred up without knowledge.

And it isn’t good to be in a hurry and miss the way.

3 A man’s own foolish acts destroy his life.

But his heart is angry with the Lord.

2 Also it is not good for a person to be without knowledge,

And he who hurries his footsteps errs.

3 The foolishness of man ruins his way,

And his heart rages against the Lord.
