American King James Version
" Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he has no heart to it? "
— Proverbs 17:16, American King James Version
“Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?”
“Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, Seeing he hath no understanding? ”
“Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom, since he has no understanding?”
“What’s the point of a fool having money in hand to buy wisdom, when his head is empty?”
“What doth it avail a fool to have riches, seeing he cannot buy wisdom? He that maketh his house high, seeketh a downfall: and he that refuseth to learn, shall fall into evils.”
“How will money in the hand of the foolish get him wisdom, seeing that he has no sense?”
“Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?”
Whoever rewards evil for good, evil shall not depart from his house.
The beginning of strife is as when one lets out water: therefore leave off contention, before it be meddled with.
He that justifies the wicked, and he that condemns the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.
Why is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he has no heart to it?
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
A man void of understanding strikes hands, and becomes surety in the presence of his friend.
He loves transgression that loves strife: and he that exalts his gate seeks destruction.
