24 The wealth of the wise is their crown,

but the folly of fools yields folly.

24 The crown of the wise is their wealth,

but the folly of fools brings folly.

24 The crown of the wise is their riches:

But the foolishness of fools is folly.

24 Wealth is a crown for the wise;

the effort of fools yields only foolishness.

24 The crown of the wise is their riches,

But the foolishness of fools is folly.

24 Wise people are rewarded with wealth,

but fools only get more foolishness.

24 The crown of the wise is their riches;

But the folly of fools is only folly.

24 The crown of the wise is their riches; the folly of the foolish is folly.

24 The crown of wise people is their wealth. 

The stupidity of fools is just that—stupidity! 

24 The crown of the wise is their wealth,

but the foolishness of fools produces foolishness.

24 The crown of the wise is their wisdom,

but folly is the garland of fools.

24 The crown of the wise is their wealth;

the folly of fools is folly.

24 The wealth of wise people is their crown.

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