Proverbs 17:16
Thomson 1808
Why should a fool have wealth? For the stupid cannot purchase wisdom.
He who buildeth his house high seeketh destruction: and he who is backward to learn shall fall into evils.
Brenton 1851
Why has the fool wealth? for a senseless man will not be able to purchase wisdom.
Greek · Brenton
Ἱνατί ὑπῆρξε χρήματα ἄφρονι; κτήσασθαι γὰρ σοφίαν ἀκάρδιος οὐ δυνήσεται·
