NIV

16 What profiteth it to a fool to have riches, since he may not buy wisdom? (since he cannot buy wisdom?) He that maketh his house high, seeketh falling; and he that escheweth to learn, shall fall into evils.
16 Why should fools have money in hand to buy wisdom, when they are not able to understand it?
