'Brutes' in the Bible

You pay attention, O brutes among the people. And [you] fools, when you will show insight?

For the shepherds [of the people] have become [like brutes,] irrational and stupid,And have not searched for the Lord or asked about Him or realized their need for Him;Therefore they have not been wise and have not prospered,And all their flocks are scattered.

One of their very own prophets said, "Liars ever, men of Crete, savage brutes that live to eat."

Yet these men are abusive in matters of which they know nothing, and in things which, like the brutes, they understand instinctively--in all these they corrupt themselves.
