Proverbs 17:16-28 - NKJV - Why is there in the hand of a fool the purchase...

16 Why is there in the hand of a fool the purchase price of wisdom, Since he has no heart for it?

17 A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity.

18 A man devoid of understanding shakes hands in a pledge, And becomes surety for his friend.

19 He who loves transgression loves strife, And he who exalts his gate seeks destruction.

20 He who has a deceitful heart finds no good, And he who has a perverse tongue falls into evil.

21 He who begets a scoffer does so to his sorrow, And the father of a fool has no joy.

22 A merry heart does good, like medicine, But a broken spirit dries the bones.

23 A wicked man accepts a bribe behind the back To pervert the ways of justice.

24 Wisdom is in the sight of him who has understanding, But the eyes of a fool are on the ends of the earth.

25 A foolish son is a grief to his father, And bitterness to her who bore him.

26 Also, to punish the righteous is not good, Nor to strike princes for their uprightness.

27 He who has knowledge spares his words, And a man of understanding is of a calm spirit.

28 Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.

Proverbios 17:16 ¿De qué sirve el precio en la mano del necio para comprar sabiduría cuando no tiene entendimiento?

16 Why should a fool have money in his hand ¹to buy wisdom when he has no sense?

16 ¿De qué sirve el precio en la mano del loco para comprar sabiduría, no teniendo corazón para entender

16 Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?

Proverbios 17:16 Es absurdo pagar por la educación de un necio,
puesto que no tiene deseos de aprender.

16 ¿De qué le sirve al necio poseer dinero?¿Podrá adquirir sabiduría si le faltan sesos?

16 ¿De qué sirve el precio en la mano del necio para comprar sabiduría, No teniendo entendimiento?

16 ¿De qué sirve el precio en la mano del loco para comprar sabiduría, no teniendo corazón para entender ?
