Proverbs 17:16

World English Bible

¹⁶Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom,
since he has no understanding?

Proverbs 17:16

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁶Why does a fool have money in his hand
with no intention of buying wisdom?^(A)

²⁴Wisdom is before the face of one who has understanding,
but the eyes of a fool wander to the ends of the earth.

²⁴Wisdom is the focus of the perceptive,
but a fool’s eyes^(A) roam to the ends of the earth.
