Proverbs 17:16-18
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 17
16
Why is there money in the hand of a fool to buy wisdom,
When he has no sense?
17
A friend loves at all times,
And a brother is born for adversity.
18
A person lacking in sense shakes hands
And becomes guarantor in the presence of his neighbor.
King James Version
Chapter 17
16
Wherefore
is there
a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing
he hath
no heart
to it
?
17
A friend loveth at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
18
A man void of understanding striketh hands,
and
becometh surety in the presence of his friend.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 17
16
Why does a fool have money in his hand with no intention of buying wisdom?
17
A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a difficult time.
18
One without sense enters an agreement and puts up security for his friend.
New Living Translation
Chapter 17
16
It is senseless to pay to educate a fool,
since he has no heart for learning.
17
A friend is always loyal,
and a brother is born to help in time of need.
18
It’s poor judgment to guarantee another person’s debt
or put up security for a friend.
English Standard Version
Chapter 17
16
Why should a fool have money in his hand to buy wisdom when he has no sense?

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.
18
One who lacks sense gives a pledge and puts up security in the presence of his neighbor.

Why should fools have money in hand to buy wisdom, when they are not able to understand it?

A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for a time of adversity.
18
One who has no sense shakes hands in pledge and puts up security for a neighbor.
New King James Version
Chapter 17
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.
