Proverbs 17:16

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁶Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to ^(A)acquire wisdom,
When ^[a]he has no heart of wisdom?

Proverbs 17:16

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹⁶Why hand a fool money to buy wisdom,
since he has no aptitude for using it?

²⁴Wisdom is in the presence of the one who understands,
But the ^(A)eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.

²⁴Wisdom is right in front of a discerning person,
but a fool’s eyes wander to the end of the earth.
