“I said in my heart concerning the estate of the sonnes of men, that God might manifest them, and that they might see that they themselues are beasts.”
1611 King James Version (KJV)
3:18 I said - And further I considered concerning their condition in this present world. That God - God suffers these disorders among men, that he might discover men to themselves, and shew what strange creatures they are, and what vile hearts they have. Beasts - That altho' God made them men, yet they have made themselves beasts by their brutish practices, and that, considered only with respect to the present life, they are as vain and miserable creatures as the beasts themselves.
