They die, yet without wisdom.’

21‘Is not their tent-cord drawn up within them [so that the tent collapses]?

Do they not die, and yet without [acquiring] wisdom?’

21Are not their tent cords pulled up,

so that they die without wisdom?’[’’]

They die, and that without wisdom.

21Doeth not their dignitie goe away with them? do they not die, and that without wisdom?

21Isn’t their tent cord plucked up within them?

They die, and that without wisdom.’

21Like a tent that falls down, they get weak.

They die because they didn’t follow God’s wisdom.’ ”

21They no longer have their valuable things.

They suddenly die and they are still not wise.” ’

21Has their excellence not been removed with them? They die, and not in wisdom!”
