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

International Standard Version

¹⁶What is this? A fool has enough money to buy wisdom,
but is senseless?^[a]

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

²⁴A person with understanding has wisdom as his objective,
but a fool looks only^[a] to earthly goals.
