How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? And scoffers delight them in scoffing, And fools hate knowledge?

How long, you simple ones, will foolish things be dear to you? and pride a delight to the haters of authority? how long will the foolish go on hating knowledge?

Εως ποτε, μωροι, θελετε αγαπα την μωριαν, και οι χλευασται θελουσιν ηδυνεσθαι εις τους χλευασμους αυτων, και οι αφρονες θελουσι μισει την γνωσιν;

How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity? and the scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge?
