כִּ֣י כְק֤וֹל הַסִּירִים֙ תַּ֣חַת הַסִּ֔יר כֵּ֖ן שְׂחֹ֣ק הַכְּסִ֑יל וְגַם־זֶ֖ה הָֽבֶל׃
װאָרום אַזױ װי דאָס קנאַקן פֿון דערנער אונטערן טאָפּ, אַזױ איז דאָס געלעכטער פֿון דעם נאַרן. און דאָס אױך איז נישטיקײט.
Ecclesiastes
For the taunting [of the fool] confounds the sage and destroys the bestowed heart [i.e., the gift of understanding bestowed upon a man].
Ecclesiastes
Goodly is wisdom (together) with [the] inheritance [of the fathers], and an advantage to the seers of the sun [i.e., to all the creation].
Ecclesiastes
For [whoever is] in the shadow of wisdom (is) in the shadow of silver. And [a further] advantage of knowledge [over silver] is that wisdom gives life to its possessors.
