Wherefore is there a price H4242 in the hand H3027 of a fool H3684 to get H7069 (QalInf) wisdom, H2451 Seeing he hath no heart H3820 to it?

ινα τι υπηρξεν χρηματα αφρονι κτησασθαι γαρ σοφιαν ακαρδιος ου δυνησεται (17:16Α) ος υψηλον ποιει τον εαυτου οικον ζητει συντριβην ο δε σκολιαζων του μαθειν εμπεσειται εις κακα
