    Liber Proverbiorum

    Proverbs

    16

    Quid prodest stulto habere divitias, cum sapientiam emere non possit? Qui altum facit domum suam quærit ruinam, et qui evitat discere incidet in mala.

    What doth it avail a fool to have riches, seeing he cannot buy wisdom? He that maketh his house high, seeketh a downfall: and he that refuseth to learn, shall fall into evils.

    Quid prosum ad stulto habere divitias, cum sapientia eme non pote? Qui altissimo fac domo suo quaere ruina, et qui evita disce incide in malo.
