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?

Proverbs 17:16

Lexham English Bible

¹⁶Why is this? A price in the hand of a fool,
in order to buy wisdom where^[a] there is no sense.^[b]

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.

²⁴He who understands sets his face toward wisdom,
but the eyes of a fool, to the end of the earth.^[a]
