Proverbs 17:16

LXX

NIV

16 Why has the fool wealth? for a senseless man will not be able to purchase wisdom. He that exalts his own house seeks ruin; and he that turns aside from instruction shall fall into mischief.
16 Why should fools have money in hand to buy wisdom, when they are not able to understand it?
