Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.

Don't say, "Why were the former days better than these?" For you do not ask wisely about this.

Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this.

Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?” For it is unwise of you to ask about this.
