Proverbs 17:16

Authorized (King James) Version

¹⁶Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom,
seeing he hath no heart to it?

Proverbs 17:16

New King James Version

¹⁶Why is there in the hand of a fool the purchase price of wisdom,
Since he has no heart for it?

²⁴Wisdom is before him that hath understanding;
but the eyes of a fool are in the ends of the earth.

²⁴^(A)Wisdom is in the sight of him who has understanding,
But the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.
