12 Do you see a person wise in their own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for them.
12 Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
12 Do you see a man who is wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
12 See that man who thinks he's so smart? You can expect far more from a fool than from him.
12 Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
12 There is more hope for fools than for people who think they are wise.
