If only they were wise and would understand this and discern what their end will be!

I wish they were wise. Then they would understand what’s coming. They’d realize what would happen to them in the end.

If they were wise, they would understand this; they would discern their latter end!

Oh, that they were wise and could understand this! Oh, that they might know their fate!

If only they were wise, they would comprehend this; they would understand their fate.

Oh, that they were wise, that they understood this, That they would consider their latter end!

Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, That they would consider their latter end!

If only they were wise, they would figure it out; they would understand their fate.

O that they were wise,[ that] they understood this,[ that] they would consider their latter end!

I wish that they were wise and could understand this, and that they could comprehend what will happen to them.”

Oh that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

If only they had such a heart in them, to fear Me and keep all My commandments always, so that it would go well with them and with their sons forever!

Oh that My people would listen to Me, That Israel would walk in My ways!

“ Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, enjoying himself in splendor every day.And a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores,and longing to be fed from the scraps which fell from the rich man’s table; not only that, the dogs also were coming and licking his sores.Now it happened that the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s arms; and the rich man also died and was buried.And in Hades he raised his eyes, being in torment, and* saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his arms.And he cried out and said,‘ Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.’But Abraham said,‘ Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony.

When He approached Jerusalem, He saw the city and wept over it,saying,“ If you had known on this day, even you, the conditions for peace! But now they have been hidden from your eyes.

But God said to him,‘ You fool! This very night your soul is demanded of you; and as for all that you have prepared, who will own it now?’

Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; Whoever is discerning, let him know them. For the ways of the Lord are right, And the righteous will walk in them, But wrongdoers will stumble in them.

Yet you said,‘ I will be a queen forever.’ These things you did not consider Nor remember the outcome of them.

If only you had paid attention to My commandments! Then your well being would have been like a river, And your righteousness like the waves of the sea.Your descendants would have been like the sand, And your offspring like its grains; Their name would never be eliminated or destroyed from My presence.”

Who is wise? He is to pay attention to these things, And consider the mercy of the Lord.

The prophets prophesy falsely, And the priests rule on their own authority; And My people love it this way! But what will you do when the end comes?

Her uncleanness was in her garment’s seams; She did not think of her future. So she has fallen in an astonishing way; She has no comforter.“ See, Lord, my affliction, For the enemy has honored himself!”

They shall give thanks to the Lord for His mercy, And for His wonders to the sons of mankind!

As a partridge that hatches eggs which it has not laid, So is a person who makes a fortune, but unjustly; In the middle of his days it will abandon him, And in the end he will be a fool.”

Now what will you do in the day of punishment, And in the devastation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? And where will you leave your wealth?
