Denn ihr vertraget gern die Narren, dieweil ihr klug seid.
Porque de buena gana toleráis los necios, siendo vosotros sabios:
Porque ustedes, siendo sabios, toleran con gusto a los insensatos.
Car vous supportez volontiers les insensés, vous qui êtes sages.
Poichè voi, così savi, volentieri comportate i pazzi.
Porque, sendo vós sensatos, de boa mente tolerais os insensatos.
你們是聰明人,竟能甘心容忍愚蠢人!
