NLTNew Living Translation
Wisdom is too lofty for fools.
Among leaders at the city gate, they have nothing to say.
A person who plans evil
will get a reputation as a troublemaker.
The schemes of a fool are sinful;
Everyone detests a mocker.

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
Wisdom is too high for fools;
at the gate he will not open his mouth.
He who plans to do evil for himself,
they will call him “master of mischief.”
Devising folly is a sin,
and an abomination to humankind is a scoffer.
