23 A fool finds pleasure in wicked schemes,

but a person of understanding delights in wisdom.

23 Doing wrong is like a joke to a fool,

but wisdom is pleasure to a man of understanding.

23 Doing wrong is fun for a fool,

but living wisely brings pleasure to the sensible.

23 To do evil is like sport to a fool,

But a man of understanding has wisdom.

23 A foolish person enjoys doing wrong,

but a person with understanding enjoys doing what is wise.

23 It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness;

And so is wisdom to a man of understanding.

23 It is as sport to a foolish man to do wickedness; but a man of understanding hath wisdom.

23 Like the laughter of a fool when he carries out an evil plan, 

so is wisdom to a person who has understanding. 

23 As shameful conduct is pleasure for a fool,

so wisdom is for a man of understanding.

23 Doing wrong is like sport to a fool,

but wise conduct is pleasure to a person of understanding.

23 It is like a sport for a fool to do wrong,

wisdom for a person of understanding.

23 A foolish person finds pleasure in doing evil things.

But a man who has understanding takes delight in wisdom.

23 Doing wickedness is like sport to a fool,

And so is wisdom to a man of understanding.
