# they will get it when a wild donkey gives birth to a man
Since a wild donkey can never give birth to a man, this means that foolish people will never get understanding. Alternate translation: "only if a wild donkey could give birth to a man could foolish people get understanding" or "it is as impossible for a foolish person to get understanding as it is for a donkey to give birth to a man" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-irony]])
