29 If only they were wise and would understand this

and discern what their end will be!

29 O that they were wise, that they understood this,

That they would consider their latter end!

29 Oh, that they were wise and could understand this!

Oh, that they might know their fate!

29 Oh, that they were wise, that they understood this,

That they would consider their latter end!

29 I wish they were wise and understood this;

I wish they could see what will happen to them.

29 Oh that they were wise, that they understood this,

That they would consider their latter end!

29 Oh that they had been wise! they would have understood this, They would have considered their latter end!

29 If only they were wise enough to understand this 

and realize what will happen to them! 

29 If only they were wise, they would figure it out;

they would understand their fate.

29 If they were wise, they would understand this;

they would discern what the end would be.

29 If only they were wise, they would understand this;

they would discern for themselves their end.

29 I wish they were wise. Then they would understand what’s coming.

They’d realize what would happen to them in the end.

29 “Would that they were wise, that they understood this,

That they would discern their future!
