Commentaire sur Les Proverbes 17:16: Rachi, Rambam, Ibn Ezra et plus

לָמָּה־זֶּ֣ה מְחִ֣יר בְּיַד־כְּסִ֑יל לִקְנ֖וֹת חָכְמָ֣ה וְלֶב־אָֽיִן׃

A quoi sert au fou d’avoir de l’argent en main pour acquérir de la sagesse? Il n’a pas d’intelligence.

Rashi on Proverbs

Why is there a price in the fool’s hand to buy wisdom To learn the Torah.

Rashi on Proverbs

when the heart is not here In his heart, he has no intention of fulfilling it, and he learns only to gain a reputation.
