But the foolishness of fools is simply foolishness.

24The crown of the wise is their wealth [of wisdom],

But the foolishness of [closed-minded] fools is [nothing but] folly.

24The crown of the wise is their wealth,

but the effort of fools is folly.

24The crown of the wise is their riches;

But the folly of fools is only folly.

24The crowne of the wise is their riches, and the follie of fooles is foolishnes.

24The crown of the wise is their riches,

but the folly of fools crowns them with folly.

24The wealth of wise people is their crown.

But the foolish ways of foolish people lead to what is foolish.

24For wise people, their riches are like a crown of honour.

But fools only work to get foolish things.
